Color gradients in charts
I am using Excell 2007. Whenever I want to add a gradient to a color - for
example in a bar or pie chart - it shows me the types of gradients in a stupid light blue color. If I choose one it changes my color in the chart to this color and does not apply the gradient to the color I already have in place. How can I change this default behavior? |

Not the answer you're waiting for, but it's better not to use gradients at
all. They can obscure the information in the chart and lead to misinterpretation. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Scott" wrote in message ...

Your right. Not the answer I am looking for. I find that certain types of
gradients actually can work pretty well in certain circumstances which is why I am trying to figure them out again in Excel 2007.
