SUMMARY

In Works for Windows, there isn't an option to change the display of the line size on a chart. However, this can be accomplished by using Microsoft Draw's Line Style feature.

All Line charts can be formatted this way except:

  • Line Charts with data points
  • Mixed Line and Bar (combination) charts

  1. From the Edit menu of the Chart window, click Copy.
  2. From the File menu, click Create New File and select Word Processor.
  3. From the Insert menu of the Word Processor document, click Drawing.
