Changing Borders for Data Series

When Microsoft Graph charts your data, it normally surrounds the graphical representation of that data with a border. This is typically a thin black line, but you can change both the line color and line weight used to create this border. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Select a data series by clicking on the graphical representation of that series. For instance, if your data is displayed as a column chart, click on the column that represents the series whose border you wish to turn off.
2. Choose Selected Data Series from the Format menu. Microsoft Graph displays the Format Data Series dialog box. The Patterns tab should be selected. (Click here to see a related figure.)
3. In the Border area, use the Style drop-down list to select the type of line you want to use for the border.
4. In the Border area, select the color you want applied to the border using the Color drop-down list.
5. In the Border area, use the Weight drop-down list to select the line weight you wish to use for the border (you can select from four line weights).
6. Click on OK.
