setting defaults for data point size, color, shadow, etc.
 

I make a lot of Excel XY (Scatter) charts. Every time, the charts get
created with the same set of colors, sizes, and shadowing of the
markers (the dots in the plot), and it happens that I don't like these
colors, sizes, and shadowings. So each time I make a plot, I go through
and change these things to settings that I like. Is there a way for me
to reset the default settings so that these charts are automatically
made with the settings that I like?

Thanks.

Make chart as needed and select it (click on it)
Use command Chart | Chart Type
Select Custom tab and then User-Defined
Click Add ... the rest is self-evident
