 * 2) From the Edit menu, choose Edit Graph.
 * 3) In Graph, choose Set As Default Chart from the File menu. This will overwrite any existing DEFAULT.PPG file.
 * 4) From the File menu, choose Exit And Return.
 * 5) In PowerPoint, delete the selected invisible graph.
 * 6) From the File menu, choose Insert Graph.
 * 7) In Graph, choose Exit And Return from the File Menu.
