Default Chart Colors

[Scott Lopatin]

Is there a way in PowerPoint X on the Mac to change the default line and
fill colors for new charts? Every time we change the fill colors in the
preferences of Graph, and make a new chart, the colors always revert to what
they were previously.

Anyone know how to make these stick?

Thanks,
Scott

No, but you can format one graph to taste and then save it as a custom chart
type, which gets you to pretty much the same place.

This is written for Windows PPT but the same instrux seem to work on PPT X/Mac.

The location and name of the custom graph file will probably be different but
otherwise, it should work.
