Changing the color of a specific gridline in an imported Excel Chart

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a chart that was created in Excel that has been imported into PP. I need to change one specific gridline color. I have done this before, once the chart was imported, so I know it can be done, but can't remember how to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jamie

I'm pretty sure chart gridlines are changed as a group, even if you select
only one. Perhaps you just drew a line over the appropriate gridline? Or
perhaps you're referring to an axis instead of a gridline?

Double click on the chart to "activate" it. (Get it into edit mode.) Then
select the cell with the line you want to alter. Right click and choose
format cells and then chose the border tab. Select the color you want and
which part of the border you wish to have that color. If you need a colored
line across (or down) more than one cell you can select a range of cells.

Hope this helps --

I found out that if you ungroup the chart, you can change each gridline individually. The problem with drawing a line over a gridline, is that once you exit the edit mode, sometimes the line moves.
Thanks for your response though
