Thanks Andy,
I didn't get the ctrl+1 command but right right clicking the section of pie
after pause worked just fine...I would have never figured this out without
your help.

Hi,

You need to select the pie, pause and then select the slice.
CTRL+1 to display format dialog. On the Patterns tab you can use the Fill
Effects button to select appropriate pattern.

Repeat to other slices.

Cheers
Andy

Working in excel 2003, I have created a black and white pie graph and want
to
change the fill options for each slice of the pie. Excel defaults are not
pleasing to me
