    Chart series formatting add-in

    http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps41a6b13b.jpg

    I want to say it was version 2003 when last we were able to customize the series of a graph using different designs and colors that were really noticeable when printed in black and white. In my 2007 version, I'd come across an add-in that allowed me to continue formatting in this manner. Now, I've been upgraded to Office 2010 and am finding it difficult to find an add-in to allow this type of formatting. The default options in Excel SUCK! For people who are color blind, of which I have several in my audience, there are no acceptable formats to make the differences in the series really stand out.

    Does anyone happen to know of an add-in program for Excel 2010 to bring back the types of formatting shown in my example?
    I greatly appreciate any help you can provide!

    Ok, I see it now! Thanks Joseph. So, now I'm wondering if it was on 2007 all along and I just didn't know where to look for it??? LOL

    no it was removed in 2007 (I'm guessing you may have had Andy Pope's addin?)

    More than likely. He's saved my butt many times over the years

    Thanks for your help. I completely overlooked the word "Pattern" until you pointed it out!
