Charts lose settings

[Guest]

Every time I open an excel document with 2007 beta3, all of the formatting
options for fonts and line sizes colors and markers are lost and I have to go
through all the settings every time I update the data and need to reprint the
charts. serious bummer.

I have never been able to get a page size to hold for a particular chart. I
have some charts that I prefer to print on our plotter at 36X18 and others
that letter size is fine. It would be wonderful for each chart to remember
what printer and page size should be used for that chart.

Thanks

If Microsoft really considers this a suggestion rather than a bug they really
don't care about their users. As for me - until there is a fix for this
problem I am going back to Excel 2003 where it works correctly.

Office 2007 is a pre-release product and any beta is there for evaluation.
You can be sure that MS will make the product useable before release. With
such major changes in this release, there will still be bugs, as there were
between 95 -> 97 and the best version was probably 2000, where the issues in
97 were mainly ironed out.

Without pushing the envelope, we would all still be operating in the
'stability' of VisiCalc ;-)
