Transparency graphic option not working on Excel Charts?

[Charles]

Can anyone help me to turn on the "transparency" option for Excel Charts? In
each type of chart I select and then try to create a transparent color...
there is the option, but it's not available for me to use. Is there a way to
turn this on?

Hi,

Transparency is not support in windows based XL. I think the Mac guys
have it.
Here is a work around from John Walkenbach, that might be useful.
