Hi. I am in the midst of a project that involves making a lot of line charts. The default colors and line thicknesses are not ideal for what I'm trying to convey and I find myself spending a very long time trying to change these options in every figure. Is there some way to change the default formatting for charts?
This has become much more painful since switching to office08 thanks to the impossibly slow chart creation. Hopefully this problem will be fixed soon. I find excel 04 to be many times faster at making charts.

Thank you,
Mara

It looks like custom styles have been removed, however I think you can copy and paste chart formatting.
