Hello.

How can I change default backgrond color and other stuff (font family, size,
color etc.) when creating new charts. Someone changed this on my computer so
now when I create new chart, using wizard, I get, as a result, chart with
black background, and some stupid colors for lines etc.

Please, could someone give me a hint how to solve this?

Hi,

Have a look at Jon Peltier's article, which covers default chart setting.

Or possible check you colour palette has not be re-assigned.
Tools Options Color

Cheers
Andy

Thanks Andy for fast replay.

Unfortunatelly, this doesn't help :( I was chekcing all the settings and I
couldn't find anything related to my problem. I hope you understand what is
my problem? This is the little scenario: 1. select the table, 2. choose chart
wizard, 3. pick some chart type (column for example). When I press and hold
to view sample, or when I press finish I get chart with black background
color, white letters. Now, I have to edit all those things to get what I
wanted from the start(white background, black letters and I even have to
choose font as I was using before(Arial), black borders etc.).

So when using the chart wizard at step 1 of 4 if you click the Custom Types
tab and select
Select From - User-Defined. Does your Default chart have the black
background and white text?

Cheers
Andy
