I don't think the marker style have changed since xl2000.

Chart formatting options haven't changed since Excel '97, and I don't
think '95 was much different..

Thanks was my thinking as well Jon but I didn't have xl97 at habd to check.

Maybe the variations where due to different Fore and Back colour
settings on the markers.

I used xl97 at work from about the day it was released across two jobs
until I was laid off in '04, so I know lots of the minutiae about it.
Now I use mostly 2000 when programming, and 2003 for my own stuff. '03
is faster loading, and I really like the list feature. Of course, I have
'00, '02, and '03 installed on the same box with no precautions, so I
have some funny interactions between versions, and the user defined
chart gallery is completely hosed.
