Powerpoint shouldn't remove the GAP setting if dates are on the a.

[Suzan]

Column Graph that has Monday's date on the bottom axis. The gap between the
bars is HUGE and the bars themselves are narrow as a line.

Problem: Bars are too narrow and you can't tell the color.

Workaround: Put a BIG fat outline around the bars. Adjusting the GAP setting
in options did nothing about the white space.

Solution: Don't let PowerPt realize those are DATES on the bottom axis. I
added one space to the first date in my data table. Now the GAP option works
as expected.;

I have graphs to illustrate if anyone is interested.
