Excell Chart Background Wkst

[Guest]

I am using Excel 2003
I am working on 2 line charts created by someone else. They had a problem
with the charting and asked me to help fix it. The easiest way for me to fix
it was to recreate the chart. The charts I were given are on a plain blueish
type background and not the normal spreadsheet looking background. By
background, I mean the surrounding area around the chart - not the chart
itself. How do I change the background of the new chart I created to match
the original chart? Can someone please point me in the right direction. I
couldn't even look this up in my Excel book because I do not know what the
terminology is that I am even looking for.
Please HELP!

That is the "Chart Area"

I do not believe that "Chart Area" is correct. According to Excel Help, that
has to do with the Chart itself. I want to change the background area around
the chart - Not the Chart or the area within the Chart.

Can you select this region? If so, select it and look at the name in the
name box (above where cell A1 is in a worksheet), or see what is listed in
the chart selection dropdown on the chart toolbar.

Is it an embedded chart or a chart sheet?
