Template files enable you to copy the look and feel from an existing template file to your chart. You can also copy Directory, Profile, Report, Group and Conditional Format definitions from the template file.
To apply template files:
1 Click the Format tab and select Apply from the Templates section.
2 Choose a template and click Open. The Apply Template Properties dialog box opens.
3 To reformat your chart, leave the default option, Look and Feel, selected.
4 In the Apply To area, select one of the following options:
· Entire chart: Applies the template to the entire chart.
· Active sub-chart: Applies the template to the displayed sub-chart.
· Selection: Applies the template to the selected boxes.
· If you want to copy selected definitions from the template, select the Contents option. This activates the options under Design and Branch, and deselects the Apply to options.
