Hi,
how do I set the chart plot area back to automatic, and make it stay there?
While opening new workbook and making a chart, the plot area is set to some
colour and I prefer it to keep automatic, and white. How?

Select the chart, choose Layout, Plot Area or Chart Wall, select More ..
Options and change the Fill option to Automatic.

Hi,
and thanks for advice Test. Forgot to mention that I am using Excel 2003.
I do not get selection of "More". I can change the plot area to automatic
for a chart I have created, but would like to change the default value so,
that whenever creating a new chart, it would have Plot area settings "Border"
and "Area" set as automatic. Obviously it should be done within the Book.xlt,
but how?
