Excel 2003 is missing Built-In Custom Chart Types in Chart Wizard

[Julius]

I recently uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2003 and now all the
built-in custom charts are missing from Excel!

When creating a chart using the Chart Wizard, under the Custom Types
tab, there is supposed to be a list of built-in charts, when the Built-
In radio button is selected. Now, there are none.

Does anyone know how to restore those built-in charts? I have tried
reinstalling, and that does not work. Also, I could not find an option
related to this using "Modify" in Add/Remove Programs.

I have Macros that use those charts, and I also need those charts for
certain reports that I am required to create.

Any help is appreciated!

You need a file named XL8GALRY.XLS

Usually found in.........

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033

That holds the Built-in Custon Charts

Try searching for it on your computer.

If can't find, email me and I'll send you a copy.

Change the AT and DOT in my email address.

While we're at it...........if you defined any user-built chart styles they
will be in a file named XLUSRGAL.XLS

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel

Gord,

Thanks for your quick reply! This solved my problem. I copied the file from
an installation on another workstation!

Thank you very much!
