I have just discovered to my dismay that the settings I created on one Mac
do not transfer to another. They are not built into a presentation; they
stay with the Mac.

How can I put these Graph.app settings on other Macs? The template I am
creating is to work on PCs. Can they be transferred to Windows machines or
do they have to set yet again either on each individual PC or accompanying
the template?

My template is still a .ppt not yet a .pot. Will the Graph.app settings be
inside a .pot?

Thanks for any help (which I¹d love to have fairly soon)

Oz

Arrrh. I shoulda read this first. You've already tumbled to what I explained
earlier. O well. The workaround's still good.

Hi,

You might try moving this file:
Username:Library:Preferences:Microsoft:Excel Chart User Gallery

I don't know whether that brings MS Graph preferences in along with
Excel's, though.

Under Windows, Graph and Excel are two different apps with two different sets
of settings/prefs.

And don't forget that if you move the prefs from computer A (yours) to computer
B (mine), I might get your graph preferences, but I lose any I've saved. I'm
not going to love you for that.
