How do I alter plot area colour in a chart without a mouse?
I am teaching ECDL to visually impaired learners, and they need to be able to
change the background colour of the plot area of a chart using keystrokes. We can change the chart area colour this way, but cannot find a way to change the plot area. Does anyone know how to do this without using a mouse? Thanks Debbie

Hi Debbie,
You might find this useful. http://www.andypope.info/tips/tip003.htm Once an chart element is selected you can use CTRL+1 to bring up the Format dialog.

Re: How do I alter plot area colour in a chart without a mouse?
Also, if the chart area is selected, pressing the up arrow key one time
changes the selection to the plot area. The up and down arrow keys cycle among the chart elements. The left and right arrow keys cycle among items within a chart element (i.e., points within a series, labels within a series' data labels). - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ Andy Pope wrote: > Hi Debbie, > > You might find this useful. > http://www.andypope.info/tips/tip003.htm > > Once an chart element is selected you can use CTRL+1 to bring up the > Format dialog. > > Cheers > Andy > > debbiecatal wrote: > >> I am teaching ECDL to visually impaired learners, and they need to be >> able to change the background colour of the plot area of a chart using >> keystrokes.
