Creating default chart styles in Keynote

I'm throwing my question out here to see if anyone has similar experiences working with creating own templates in Keynote, wanting to pre-define all styles possible in the theme.
Here's the problem.
I'm trying to define pre-set styles for graphs in a theme I'm building for a client. But it's giving me a terrible headache. Whenever I try to create new graphic styles for the graphs, they keep mixing up. They loose colours and they somehow disappear fromt the inspector view where the styles are displayed.
The funniest thing is that whenever I define the bar chart or the pie chart, the colour settings I've worked so hard defining dissepear and are replaced with a blue gradient colour that originally was in the theme that I've changed. What am I doing wrong? Why does this ****** blue gradient stick in the theme?
And so to the questions:
Has anyone experiences in creating preset styles for charts without them disappearing all the time? Or maybe a workaround for this?
Is there any way to define the keynote theme colours by going into the package content (assuming I've saved it as a package) and from there edit the .iwa-file called 'Document Stylesheet'? If so, how would that be done. I can't find any app that can handle these filetypes.
Here's an image of what it looks like:
I feel Keynote's way of defining theme colours is really bad and lacks features, compared to powerpoint, which is a breeze working with in comparison. At least when creating colour sets for a theme.
I could really use some help here! Thanks.
Set up:
MacBook Pro with Retina
OS 10.10
Keynote 6.5.2

In keynote you have a slide with a chart in it. I will use a bar chart for this example. Now that you have the slide with the chart you want to edit the colors of open, click on the "Colors" button at the top right of the Keynote window. Click on the wheel Until the box above the wheel displays the color you desire. Once you have that color chosen, click in that color box and drag it to the bar you want to have that color in your chart. Tada! You have now changed the color. I am on my iPhone or would have done some screen shots for you.
Enjoy!

  • How to create organizational Charts in Pages, keynote.

    Can you explain what exactly you want. Many of us here don't use Office so we have no idea what you are talking about.

  • Creating a new chart in PowerPoint 2013 with Chart Styles applied

    In PowerPoint 2013 when I manually insert a new chart into a slide, the chart automatically has the Chart Style "Style 1" applied. This has the effect of setting the font sizes of chart labels to 12.
    However, no Chart Styles are applied if I try to add a new chart to PowerPoint 2013 using the following C# code:
    var ppt = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application();
    var presentation = ppt.Presentations.Add();
    var layout = Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PpSlideLayout.ppLayoutChart;
    var slide = presentation.Slides.Add(1, layout);
    var shapes = slide.Shapes;
    shapes.AddChart();
    Font sizes seem to default to 18. Is there any way to create a chart or to set Chart Styles using Interop so that it matches a chart produced manually (i.e. has Chart Styles applied)?
    I am aware of the Chart.ChartStyle property but it only seems to change chart colors and legend placement, not font size. There is no Macro recorder in PowerPoint, so I can't generate VBA code to replicate the action of creating a new chart.

    Hi
    >> there any way to create a chart or to set Chart Styles using Interop so that it matches a chart produced manually (i.e. has Chart Styles applied)?
    You can add using shapes.AddChart2() instead of the last sentence shapes.AddChart(), I have tested in my projects, if I using AddChart(), the label size and the space will be different from manually insert a chart into a slide, but AddChart2() is the same
    with manually operating.

  • How do I create a chart in Keynote that auto-updates from data in Numbers?

    Hello all!  So, there are lots of answer to this for iWork'09, but I haven't found them for the current version of Work.
    What I'd like to do is take data from Numbers and create a chart in Keynote that would then auto-update if I edited the data in Numbers.  Put another way, the Keynote chart data would 'live' in Numbers - every time I edit the Numbers data, I'd like those changes to reflect in Keynote.  Any thoughts on how to do this outside of always cutting and pasting from Numbers to Keynote?
    Thanks!!

    Thanks Gary.  I thought I was crazy.  I remember that it used to be available - bummer that it's not now.

  • How do i create organisational chart in keynote?

    i can't seem to find a "ready" chart in the chart bar, is there any simple/straightforward way to create an organisational chart in keynote rather than to create in other apps and move it here? thank you

    There is not an organisation chart feature in Keynote.
    You would add text boxes and shapes connecting them with the line shape.

  • How to customise charting styles?

    Hi,
    I'm currently looking for a way to customise the styles
    available in cfchart. I have to place 9 charts on an A4 page in
    landscape i.e. 3 rows of 3 charts, each of size width 280 and
    height 190.
    Is there anybody who can please help me with the following?
    1. If you choose a particular size in the fontsize attribute
    of the cfchart tag, all labels have this size. Is there a way to
    style the fontsize of the x-axis data labels to be smaller,
    independently of the fontsize of the remaining labels? Something
    similar to MS Excel.
    2. Is there a way to increase the graph area? Ok, you would
    say make the fonts smaller. But at a certain fontsize, e.g. below
    Arial Narrow font size 8, it is barely readable. I want to be able
    to resize the graph area e.g. like in MS Excel or Crystal Reports.
    Is there a way to do this?
    3. Can the position of the legend be changed? By default it
    appears in the centre on top of the charts. Is there a way to
    position it differently?
    You can imagine with the space available to place 3 charts of
    width 280px next to each other, the display will definitely suffer,
    especially if e.g. the x-axis data labels are quite long.
    In fact, the only things that I've already changed are:
    1. x-axis orientation to vertical in default.xml
    2. using Arial Narrow size 8
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,

    Hi,
    Ok, I've used the webcharts.bat file in the
    "CFusionMX7\charting" directory to create a style called
    myStyle.xml which I've saved in the "CFusionMX7\charting\styles\"
    directory. See code below.
    However when I try to use this style in the cfchart
    style="myStyle" the x-axis font
    DOESN'T display font size 8!!!
    I need to
    MANUALLY set the font attributes.
    <cfchart font="Arial Narrow" fontsize="8">
    Any idea why this is so, or any idea how to customise the
    charts further?

  • Mac mail/creating new format style

    Hi all,
    I sometimes send emails with a good amount of copy ( I have my compose preference set to RTF). I notice that the default format style for macmail is Left aligned, Spacing 1.0x. (no leading or 'set solid'). I'd like to create a new 'favorite style' that includes the basic type 'Geneva' and flush left alignment but with more leading, maybe '2.0' so that the copy is more readable. I go to the menu Format-->Style-->Styles. A styles info box comes up:
    Can anyone tell me how to create a new format style with greater leading than the
    default style then add it to favorites? Will a person who receives my email who is using a different email client necessarily receive the formatting I am sending?
    I hope I'm not missing something obvious. lol.
    Also, if anyone knows the html code that would center my image in this email, please pass that along as well. I tried the <center> tags but they didn't work.
    Thanks in advance for any input.
    Regards,
    Dennis

    Replying to myself to add some more information, and ask some additional questions:
    Poking around, I have found some information -- a few years old, unfortunately -- that seems to indicate that you cannot create aliases to associate with a mac.com account. What I may have to do is add an address in the primary account, in the Email Address field of the Account Information tab, where she currently has this:
    [email protected], [email protected]
    If that works, that'll be great, but one flaw in this method is that you can't specify a different sender name. Her customers at "herdomain.com" will still just see her name, Jane Doe, when what she really wants in the sender field for that e-mail address is "Jane Doe, Director, Her Domain Inc."
    Can anyone verify if I am finally understanding this correctly? Or if there is something else I can do to get her that alternate identity on her mac.com account?
    Thanks.

  • Create new Generating style Extending the Classic Style

    Hi all,
    When creating an ITS screen, you can choose a Generating style.
    Default (at our system) there are 3 templates available:
    - Business HTML
    - Classic
    - WebGUI
    is it possible to create an own Generating style?
    At present we are using the CLASSIC STYLE.
    However, I need to alter the generated TEMPLATE file every time I create one.
    Is there some way that one could extend the CLASSIC style to have my own style generated to accommodate the modifications?
    I have used the style as per the specifications of Mobile Template generator and that is not what I want. I want to extend the Classic HTML style.
    This is a high priority issue for me. Thanks in advance.
    Arup

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response. II have already used the Mobile Generator Style for my customized style generator and that is not what I want.
    I need to extend the classic HTML style to create my own style to generate the Templates in the format I need.
    Is there some documentation or some class from which I should extend to generate my Generator to be used.
    Any help on this would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Arup

  • Change default paragraph style!!

    How do I change the default paragraph style? I can't stand double spaces but that's what I am stuck with
    I want freeform, not body
    Application is Pages 2.0.2
    Message was edited by: Spprrw

    Welcome to the Apple forums
    By default, the Pages developers chose to use 12 point after paragraph spacing which will make it appear as a double space between paragraphs. You need to create your own default template. Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.
    While you're at it, you might want to set default styles for all objects, text boxes, tables, paragraph styles, etc. Start with a blank document & insert an object. Change the color, wrap, etc. to your choosing & then go to Format > Advanced > Define Default Shape Style then delete the object. Repeat with an image/photo, a text box & a table.
    Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

  • Chart pasted into Keynote (from Numbers) won't update. Please help.....

    When i copy a chart from Numbers 09 and paste into Keynote 09, it won't update (if i make a change in Numbers). It's the same problem if i try and paste a chart into Pages also.  Any advice (i've tried the usual solutions)???

    This is the procedure for charts:
    Updating a Chart Copied from a Numbers Document
    If you’ve created a chart in Numbers, you can copy it and paste it into your Keynote
    presentation. After it’s been pasted into Keynote, the chart remains linked to the data
    tables it references in Numbers.
    To change the chart data, open the original Numbers
    document and edit the data there, save the Numbers document, and then refresh the
    chart data in Keynote.
    To update a chart after you’ve updated its data in its linked Numbers table:
    mm Select the chart on the slide canvas and click the Refresh button that appears.
    Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart
    into your Keynote presentation and after editing the Numbers data tables that the
    chart references.

  • Create line chart/graph

    Hi,
    I've created a waveform chart that takes in an integer data point every seven seconds. I'd prefer it if the chart directly connected the data points to form a line chart instead of going down to zero during the seven seconds between readings. I checked around labview briefly but couldnt find any line charts. Is there a setting I can chanhe of a type of chart i should use to get a basic line graph?
    THanks

    The default chart is a 'line chart'. Right click on the plot legend and look at the interpolation. Unless you changed the Fill Base Line option, the chart will not drop to zero unless you are passing it a zero value.

  • Apply All Default Object Styles

    Captivate v5.5
    Having opened Captivate v5.5, not opened any projects and going straight to Edit/Object Styles - I have created the styles I want to work with for projects I create in v5.5...Let's call them my default styles for this question
    When I open a blank project in order to create a new project it seems (but not yet fully tested this) that my default styles have been applied. So far so good.
    However as I often create new projects based on a copy of a recently created project, the styles are not my "default" styles.
    1. How can I quickly apply all my default styles in one go to a project that has other styles already applied?
    2. Would it make sense if you could name and save your styles (and preferences) and so quickly identify and apply them ?
    Noel

    Anjaneai,
    Actually, Global Styles don't quite work that way.  If you set up a Global Style, it is ONLY available in new blank projects, not ALL projects.
    As a test, set up a new Global Style with some unique name, and then open up a project that already has a number of custom local styles created.  You'll find that the new Global Style you created does not appear in the Style list, or in the Object Style Manager.  However, if you open a new Blank project that has no custom styles, THEN the global style will show up on the Style list.
    So Noel's point is quite valid. Global styles SHOULD be available in all projects.  But that's not the way they actually work in practice.

  • How can I create 25 charts on a page, each chart 2 columns and 10 rows

    I need to create a chart that has 25 tables. 5 tables in 5 columns. Each table has 2 columns and 10 rows. I know it can fit all on 1 page as I have seen it done but I can not figure out how

    I had some initial difficulty understanding your question. In Numbers, a "chart" is a graph.
    You want to create a 5 x 5 array of tables, each with two columns and 10 rows, placed on a single page.
    At the default size, each cell on a new Table is 1 inch wide and 0.2 inches high. So without displaying a title, each of your 25 charts would occupy a two inch square space.
    Butted closely together, that's a space that is 10 inches wide by 10 inches high.
    On a machine set to US localization,the default page size is US Letter, placed in Landscape orientation. Left, right and top margins are set to 0.75", bottom margin is 0.5", and there is a 0.25" height reserved for page header and page footer.
    That leaves a working space that's 9.5" wide and 6.75" high.
    Obviously, some adjustments will be needed.
    0.2" is pretty much the minimum for row height. You can go smaller by typing in a smaller height in the Table Inspector, but even with 9 point type, you begin to lose the descenders on ps and qs. Go with 0.2, then use the slider in Print view to further shrink the content.
    If you can narrow the columns significantly (to 0.75" or less), then go to Page setup and change to Portrait orientation.
    In the Sheet Inspector, decrease all margins to 0.5", and the header and footer spaces to 0. Set page orientation to Portrait.
    Now consider the Table(s). If you've opened a new, blank document, you'll have a multi column, multi row table with one header row and one header column. If you don't need the header row and header column, delete them (column A, Row 1) right away.
    Reduce the number of rows to 10 and the number of columns to 2. Select the whole table and, in the Table inspector, set the row height to 0.16" and the row width to 0.73".
    With the table still selected. press command-D four times to create four duplicate tables.
    Go View > Show Rulers, then View > Show Print View. go back to the Table Inspector and use the slider to set Content Scale to about 94%.
    Drag the still selected Table to the right margin of the page. Press command-A to Select All.
    Go Arrange > Align > Top
    Go Arrange > Distribute Space > Horizontal.
    With all five tables still selected, press command-D to duplicate the set.
    Hold down the Shift key and press the left arrow once, then the down arrow 14 times. This should bring the new row of tables into line with the previous ones, and move them down the page to just below the first row of tables. If fine adjustment is needed, use the arrow keys with the shift key released.
    Repeat three more times to add another three rows of tables.
    Adjust the spacing between tables as necessary.
    Regards,
    Barry
