Applying a template to a chart

In normal operations, a template is selected when a chart is first created. You can however apply chart properties as defined in a template at any point.

Use the Merge Template window to import chart properties and settings from a template into your chart. This is a way of making certain features in your chart consistent with those defined in a template.

To add chart properties that are stored in a template to an existing chart:
  1. Click File > Template > Merge Template.
    The Merge Template window appears.
  2. Choose the template to apply.
  3. Select the types of chart property to apply.
  4. Use Replace Existing Features to overwrite existing properties.
  5. Click OK to apply the chart properties.
