Where do I find cross-hatch fill patterns?

[Guest]

When filling a cell in a table, I cannot find the cross-hatch fill pattern.
Does anyone know what happened to it?

PPT 2007? Pattern fills are no longer available. You'd have to make your own
and insert it as a texture fill.

Hi,

You could use VBA to get pattern fills.
It's also something you can do to get pattern fills in charts, which
also has no UI method.

BUT how long this approach will remain possible I have no idea.

' change references to slide, shape and cell to suit your need

With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3). _
Table.Cell(2, 3).Shape
With .Fill
.Transparency = 0#
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)
.BackColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
.Patterned msoPatternHorizontalBrick
End With
End With

Cheers
Andy
