Excel charts should have format templates
 

Power point has them! Word has them!

Ever get sick of the same default colors, fonts and format in the default
excel charts?

Whish you didn't have to go and manually change every chart property each
time you create a chart? Whish you could save your own chart format
templates so that you could apply the same unique format to a group of charts?

Here's some of my chart format template suggestions:

Black and White
Grayscale
Rainbow
Scientific
Presentation
+ a whole lot of others could be added, just like the powerpoint templates.

It's time to bring Excel Charts up to speed!
