Change color of Powerpoint charts

F

Floschi

If i create a chart in Powerpoint the colors of this chart are based on the
Colorscheme of the active Slide.

But if i have a lot of Bars in that chart the 5th 6th... Bars have colors
that are not based on this Colorscheme.

How can i define this colors via VBA, so that this colors are defined, like
in the colorscheme, before the charts is created.

Thanks

This wont help much but for what its worth the 7th and onwards default colors
are fixed and dont follow any variable scheme. 7 is blue, 8 lavender and the
rest microsoft brights (red, yellow, green, cyan etc) Not sure how you could
change this programatically

Did that answer the question / help?

The 5th and 6th bars are based on the color scheme. See
http://www.echosvoice.com/colorschemes3.htm They're the colors assigned to
shadow and title text.

That said, I don't know anything about "prgramatically." I do know this is
one area of PPT that's hard to work with. Hopefully some of the others will
pop in with ideas.
