I am using a STOCK type chart in excel with the table formatted in the
required
A B etc (up to 20 x-axis categories)
Av
Max
Min
Close

way. In order to make the chart more €˜viewable I have changed the colours,
sizes, bars etc as normal.

However if I need to change the range of data that the chart is plotting the
chart reverts back to the default excel format and I loose the items that I
formatted. Can I stop this happening? Why does it only happen to this type
of chart and no other charts I use?

Thanks for your help
