Choosing Colors

You can choose color templates for column/bar, distribution, radar, and trend graphs after you specify their data and display settings.

To choose the colors of your column/bar, distribution, radar, or trend graph:

1. On the Colors step of the Graph Wizard, select System Defined Color Template to have the system assign its default color template to the graph, or select User Defined Color Template to assign a custom color template to the graph.

   If you select System Defined Color Template, then click Next. You do not need to do anything else on the Colors step. If you select User Defined Color Template, then proceed to the next step and choose a color template.

2. Choose a color template from the Color Template menu or select Private Template to create a new color template that will be applied to this graph only.

   If you selected Private Template, you can edit the template right in the Graph Wizard. After you make your changes, select Save As... to save your changes in the Color Template Wizard , where you can also specify other properties of the template.

   If you want to make changes to the color template itself, click Edit (if available). This opens the chosen template in the Color Template Wizard.

   For information on editing color templates, refer to Color Templates.

3. Click Preview to see how the graph appears with the chosen color template.
4. Click Next to proceed to the next step, Viewing In Folders Information.
