Adding series borders

A series is a collection of instances of data of the same type, identified by a color or pattern, and keyed by a legend. Series borders are a distinguishable frame drawn around the edges of data points. Borders can be turned on in all series except line and scatter.

To add series borders:

  1. On the Chart tab, in the Series group, click the dialog box launcher.
  2. From the Series list, use the arrows to select a series.
  3. Select the Borders check box.
  4. From the Width list, select the width of the borders. This defines the thickness of the border in points.
  5. From the Color list, select Border, then click Color to select a color.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Click Save Changes.

You can change the border color through the Elements tab.
