Excel Charts Linke to PPT

I am linking charts created in Excel into PPT. The charts in

Excel are white background, my slide design is the black one from

Selling a Product. I would like the charts to take on the templates

chart colours which are black background, white text, etc. If the

originator of the excel files changes her mind on the background to use,

then when I apply another design, the charts should accommodate the new

colours.

Thank you
 
Rob,
I don't think this one would be easy since the charts color scheme
comes from the Excel palette and not from the PPT palette.

Two thoughts, restrict the users to a few possible templates and
create multiple custom palettes in Excel and apply those (still a
nightmare in my mind).
Second use VBA to pick up the PPT palette colors and apply that color
palette to each linked Excel file in use. Not really all that hard to
code to a decent coder but not something I'd recommend for the faint
of heart.
