I have Excel 2003
I made a user defined default chart type and now every time i use excel the
same chart comes up. I want to delete this and get back to Excel chart
types. How do i do it? i dont have a delete button within charts.
Woudl a systyem restore help?

Under Chart Type, Custom Types. Select User defined option at bottom. Then,
select all the charts you want to remove and hit the delete key. Note that if
you delete the "default" chart, original defaults are restored.

In the dialogue, after selecting "user defined" as the type of charts I want
to look at, I see two buttons. One for "add" to add current selected chart to
the list, and "delete" to remove from list. Is your version of XL not
displaying these?

No its not. I have Cancel, Back (greyed out) Next and Finish only. I think
i may have to reinstall Excel to fix this

Hmm, I was able to duplicate your problem when clicking the "create chart"
button from toolbar. Possible workaround:

Create some type of dummy chart. (doesn't matter what it is, just need a
chart). Right-click on chart, and go to Chart Type. Again, go to Custom
Types, and then pick "user defined". The Add/Delete buttons should now appear!
