Chart Question

[Kay Schulz]

Hi
I wanted to draw a line chart.
No big deals.
But:
The line always shows a light grey shadow below
the red line.
(I chose red).
I tried to format it, used the thinnest line
etc. but the greyish shadow is always there.
How can I get rid of it?
I double-clicked on the line and checked all
entries, but could not find an option
disable or enable shadow.
Nay help?

Hi Kay -

Which version of Excel? If 2004, click on the line & take a look at the
Formatting Palette's Chart Colors, Lines & Fills section... There is an area
that pertains to the Line with a checkbox for Shadow. Clear the check.

Or, Ctrl+Click the line, choose Format Data Series and on the Colors & Lines
page the Shadow checkbox is located in the Marker properties, not the
properties of the Line... Pretty logical, huh

Hi
thanks for the quick reply.
Would be logical if the checkbox would not be greyed out.
It is set to shadow but greyed out.
Because style I chose no data points
If I choose data points to automatic, only then I can
deactivate the shadow.
But I do not want data points in the diagramm.
So from my point of view, it is confusing:
You get shadows if you draw a line without data points.
No option for that.
Wrong.
You have to choose a layout for datapoints, deactivate
the shadow and then choose no data points. And then it works.
Thanks for your help
