Excel 2003 chart lines are too thin
The lines are the same size as the x & y axis. I found the weight but it
only has 4 selections and no more selection. My girlfriend has 2007 and the weight had MORE for a selection. How do I make the lines on the bar chart thicker? |

Purchase 2007.
With 2003 you're stuck with the 4 available. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 12 Nov 2007 18:11:00 -0800, Mac wrote: The lines are the same size as the x & y axis.

Excel 2003 chart lines are too thin
2007 is not recommended for work or college. There has to be a way to make
the lines display wider in 2003. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Purchase 2007. With 2003 you're stuck with the 4 available.

Excel 2003 chart lines are too thin
You want the borders of the bars or columns wider? Why? If the bars are not
distinct enough, use a darker fill color. Lately in my bar and column charts, I don't use borders on the bars at all. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Mac" wrote in message ... 2007 is not recommended for work or college.

I don't understand the question. I would like for the bars representing the
data to be wider. Currently, they are about the same as the x & y axis. Is there a way? "Jon Peltier" wrote: You want the borders of the bars or columns wider? Why?

Excel 2003 chart lines are too thin
The bars are too narrow? You said the lines were too narrow.
Double click on a set of bars, and on the Options tab, reduce the gap width. If you still can't get them narrow enough, it probably means your X values are dates, and you're only taking one point every week. If this is the case, go to the Chart menu Chart Options Axes tab, and change the Category (X) Axis to Category. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Mac" wrote in message ...
