I am not sure how many of us would have faced this problem, but I have an
issue, rather a big issue, working with powerpoint 2003 and I need immediate
resolution.

The color palette that is provided as default in powerpoint 2003 is somehow
hardcoded, it is only when you change the color filles for the chart that it
changes the color... but it is applicable only to the current chart not to
any new chart / slide (specially the chart fills). So if you can provide me a
resolution to this, which will allow me to change the hardcoded colors in the
color palette forever then I would really really appreciate. I am discounting
the 8 dynamic colors that are available as I need around 25 colors which are
standardized for my presentations.

Unfortunately, you can't do what you want. See the end of
http://www.echosvoice.com/colorschemes3.htm Best option is to include
sample slides with charts that users can change the data (or paste in their
own).
