Embedded graph colour scheme

[Guest]

Can I set a default colour scheme in my embedded charts in powerpoint. Right now I can change the colours in one embedded graph but it doesn't carry over with the user-defined chart types. Is it inextricably linked to the PowerPoint colour scheme?

Thanks,

Jules

This might do some part of what you require:

But there must be a program out there that will run through the sixteen

charts colours on an embedded chart and change their values. If not will
someone write one? There's bound to be money in it!

Cheers,

Please someone

User-defined chart types are machine-specific, not presentation-specific. So no, the colors will not carry over.

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -

Hello,

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality natively (not requiring
add-ins or ActiveX controls), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR
OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft by either:

A) If you are using Microsoft's web-based, online newsreader for Office
communities (http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx),
click on the "New" drop-down menu and choose "Suggestion for Microsoft"
from directly within the newsreader web page.

OR,

B) If you are using another newsreader (such as Microsoft Outlook Express),
submit your suggestion using your web browser at the following address:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).

It won't affect the chart colors, other than indirectly by changing PPT's
palette colors, Geetesh.

When I've altered a color in charting then saved the chart as user-defined,
the altered color does not carry over to new charts when I assign the
user-defined chart I created. Even on the same machine.

I've done contract work for several companies that have a customized color
scheme for their charts and the color scheme travels with the template—not
dependent on an individual machine.

Is there any way to find out how the heck they did this?

User-defined chart types are machine-specific, not presentation-specific. So no, the colors will not carry over.

Those would be based on the actual template (or slide) color scheme. Check
the link TAJ posted earlier for more specifics.
