Color

[LC in Boston]

Is there a way to edit the default color pallate for powerpoint graphs? My
dept. has a new protocol for chart colors and so far, I have had to go in
graph by graph and modify the colors. Thanks for any insights.

The graph default colors are based on the color scheme. You can edit the
colors by going to format > slide design > color schemes > edit color scheme
(at the bottom)

Also, take a look at the tutorial here:

Hi John,

My graph doesn't follow the rule. The first series picks up from one of 40
colors above, the second picks up correctly from color scheme, and the third
one picks from 40 colors above.

I see the first 6 colors of 8 on the first row correctly reflecting the
color scheme.

What happened? How could I fix it?
