Macros and Charts

[Danielle]

Hello folks,

Ok, so here is what I want. I want my charts to have a specific look
(color, font, number of bars, etc...) but I want to run a macro,
create a button to insert it, which I can do...

My problem is that whatever changes I make to the formatting of the
chart while recording the macro, isn't saved in the macro. It just
inserts the same generic chart. What if I want to insert a pie chart
with my colors and fonts, etc... nope... inserts the bar chart.

I know I can save custom charts and make them my default... but I want
other people to be able to use this file... and MY default won't work
for them.

Am I even making sense?! Someone plese help me!

Thanks, Danielle

You are in edit mode when you record the macro, correct? Are you still in
edit mode when you play it back?

PowerPoint handles these modes differently in code. Check this FAQ for more
info and the solution:
