Defining Default Attributes for Charts
For charts, you can set the chart (the type of chart that appears when you choose
Insert > Chart) and the default look of each chart type. Default attributes must be set
individually for each chart type.
To set chart styles and placement:
1
Place a chart on the page.
See “Adding a New Chart and Entering Your Data” on page 225 for instructions.
2
Select the chart, and then set its attributes.
See “About Charts” on page 221 to learn how to specify a chart type.
See “Formatting Charts” on page 228 to learn how to resize a chart, rotate it, and set
other attributes that charts have in common.
3
Set the text wrapping around the chart.
See “Wrapping Text Around an Inline or Floating Object” on page 113 for instructions.
4
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each chart type.
5
Select each chart, one at a time, and then choose Format > Advanced > “Define
Default Style for chart type Chart.”
6
Select the chart type that you want to be the first chart that appears when you choose
Insert > Chart, and then choose Format > Advanced > “Make chart type the Default
Chart Type.”

Delete the charts from the page.
