Apply a Style to a Chart Element.
You can reduce the time it takes to format a chart element by applying a style to that
element. Excel comes with more than 40 predefined element styles, each of which is a collection
of chart formatting features. Each style includes one or more of the following formatting features:
a background, which is usually either a solid color or a color gradient; an outline, which
is usually a solid line with a color that matches or complements the background; and
one or more special effects, such as a shadow or bevel.
Click the chart element you want to format.
Click the Format tab.
Click the Chart Element Styles Arrow.
Excel displays the Chart Element Styles gallery.
Click the style you want to apply.
