Hi,
In Excel 2007, how do I do a simple fill pattern in the graph? I have a
graph and I can get the bars to be filled with solid colors. I can even get
preselected, really fancy patterns. However, I CANNOT get it to be filled
with a simple pattern like with black dots or with cross-hatching pattern.
Can anyone PLEASE help? I'm really frustrated with it! (I knew how to do
it in Excel 2003).
Thanks!

-Daniel

You've discovered one of the improvements in 2007 -- it doesn't do
that.
