PowerPoint 2.00 Help: Setting the Default Chart and Datasheet PSS ID Number: Q64459 Article last modified on 09-25-1991 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for Graph Reference Tables.

Instead of always starting with Microsoft PowerPoint Graph’s default chart and datasheet, you can create your own chart and datasheet and save it as the new default. For instance, you might want to start each new chart with a blank datasheet, or with different labels in the rows and columns, or with a different style of chart.

To change the default chart and datasheet, do the following:


 * 1) Enter the data in the datasheet that you want to appear each time you insert a chart.
 * 2) Make changes to the format of the chart. For example, choose the style of chart you want to appear (area, bar, pie, etc.).
 * 3) From the File menu, choose Set As Default Chart.

The new defaults are saved as a file named DEFAULT.PPG.
