I was just sent a pie chart that was made in powerpoint. It has both
the title (text) in the chart as well as the text in the legend
shadowed.

I can not for the life of me figure out how to do this. Can anyone
help?

Thanks - Ed

Hello Ed,
The best I have been able to do in reproducing the effect is by
selecting the chart, clicking on the Shadow Style, Shadow Settings,
Shadow On/Off. That makes all parts of the graph shadowed--each axis,
labels, lines .... Possibly the author made a text box or rectangle and
added text outside the graph generator, then used the text formatting
toolbar.
I would interested in how this was done also. The answer may lie behind
some darkened shape out there in the haunted slide show.

I thought this might be the case but from what I can tell it is not.

normal powerpoint modes. Let me know if you want me to send you the
actual .ppt file so you can see. I spent 2 hours at work on Friday
puilling my hair out to see hoe this was done and I could not. When all
else fails, I might have to ask the author on Monday.

I can't spare anymore hair loss, so it might be well to ask them point
blank how this was done. Can you tell if a macro was attached to the
PPT? Wondering if they were somehow able cut the graph apart, fine
tune the fonts on those items, and suture it back together.

Will set beside the computer on Monday to learn the secret of the fonts
in the third dimension.
 
I figured it out after a good night sleep and 2 minutes in front of the
computer. All you need to do is click on the chart - as in highlight
not edit - and simply click the 3d box or "shadow style" and that does
it... yeeee haaaaa.

Thanks - Ed

Good to know! I usually have to book a stay at a Holiday Inn Express
before such revelations strike.
