How do you change default greyscale colouring of graphs in illustrator CS4

I've been trying to format graphs in illustrator CS4 and can't figure out how to change the defualt colour from Greyscale to be a swatch of my own choice without having to change it manually once the data is entered.
Is there a way of changing the settings? This is driving me nuts!!!

You really can't but you can recolor the chart using a color group you define.
Describing in written words how the recolor art feature  works is not practical for me so it is by a movie

BTW if you want the colors to be the value of one color just make a color group of one color and apply it or choose a one color job from the drop down.

  • How can you change default persmissions saving files

    Mac OS 10.5.8, intel based Mac Pro
    When I save a file it has the permissions RW RW R.  There is another 10.5.8 non-intel Mac Pro then when they save a file to the destop, it is RW R R.  How do you change the default saving permissions?  I want it always to be RW RW W.

    I found it!

  • How do you change default program?

    I have photoshop on an external drive which is fine... But it is listed as the default program to open jpeg files, and I am often not connected to the external, when I'm on the go.
    How do I change the default program back to Preview?

    Yes it does list Preview as default, when the ext is not connected, but once the external is connected Photoshop takes over. I unfortunately can't do anything more about this at the moment as the External decided to stop working.
    I've already posted this error on the Western Digital website, but maybe I can get feedback her as well... My 500Gb WD My Book, worked fine for months now, yesterday I started it up and it would not access it, when i went into drive utility it is not listed as a 2 Tb WD Esternal. **** it grew!?! Same thing when connected to a PC, connection established, but you cant see the drive in Explorer. Weird...?

  • How do you change default settings for Pdf document viewing?

    Somehow the default setting for all my PDF documents and photos is now ColorSync. How do I change the main default setting, which I think should be Safari?

    The default is Preview, and you change it thus:
    Select a pdf file, rightclick and select 'Get Info', in the pane that opens scroll down to the section marked 'Open With', select Preview and check the box to 'Change All'

  • How do you change the background colour of the bottom part of calendar on iPhoto

    I have created a few calendars and photo books from iPhoto, but can't seem to find how to change the background colour of the bottom part of the calendar (where you write) to match the top part where you insert the photos.  Consequently you end up with a mismatch which doesn't look as good.  I can't believe that apple have not considered this since here are about 5 or 6 colours to choose from on the top section.  I am not running the latest version of iPhoto (which is 11 I think) as I'm not on Lion- is this significant??

    Some theme will let you change the color of both pages. The travel themes, Vintage, Seasons, Kids, Colored Paper, Modern Lines, Classic (only the border around the date area), With the Big Date theme you can change the background on both pages.
    Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • CLICK2CALL: HOW DO YOU CHANGE DEFAULT ACCOUNT?

    There are 2 Skype accounts on this laptop - one for free messaging, while the other has credit. When I click on a phone number, I want to be taken to the account with credit - but I'm taken to the other.
    How do I change it?
    Andrew.

    On the iPhone 4s - Settings>Notes> Default account - iCloud does not show up, only On My iPhone.
    The iPhone 4s iCloud setting is the same apple id as the iPhone 5 and the mac book pro.
    Under iCloud settings on the 4s - Notes is turned on. I have turned it off and back on several times.   
    When I check Settings>General>Software Update> 
    The iPhone 4s is up to date with iOS 6.0.1(10A532) 
    The iPhone 5 is up to date with iOS 6.0.2 (10A551).
    Is there a difference between iOS 6.0.1 and iOS 6.0.2 that would affect Notes?
    Under Settings>General>About> Carrier>
    iPhone 4s is Verizon 13.0
    iPhone 5 is Verizon 13.3
    As near as I can tell, that is the only differences between the operating systems of the iPhones.
    I have turned both iPhones off and restarted them.

  • How can you create a swatch from a jpeg in Illustrator CS4?

    I am trying to create a jpeg image into a swatch in Illustrator CS4. In previous versions you could simply drag the image into the swatches toolbar and it would convert it automatically. Now when I do that nothing happens. When I click on new swatch it creates a colour swatch instead of the actual image itself.

    When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?

  • How do you change default note size font

    I accidentally posted this for iWork previous to 08, sorry. I want to change the default font size for all notes in a file. I realize you can change them one slide at a time by using Cmd-+or-, but I don't want to have to do every one separately since I'm just trying to record a narration. Likewise I still have no answer to how one sees presenter notes on the slide while recording a narration! Help!

    Thanks, Sam. Yes, I could easily change the individual slides, too, but there seems to be a rather large hole in the program, if you're promoting this for kiosk use or even just being able to send to possible interested parties without being present and therefore you want to narrate it. AARGH! Is there NO one at Apple who even occasionally looks at it's own forums! And it's not in the Knowledge database either.

  • How do you change default swatches?

    Where is the default color swatches file located for Photoshop CS6? I'm tired of constantly deleting dozens of useless swatches; I want Photoshop to start with a blank Swatches palette every time.

    Photoshop loads the last used swatches by default when it loads.
    If you want a blank swatch palette, follow instructions here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSb2031e05d0354a70-1a6fe757133ae6e6508-8000 .html and empty out your default swatches, click on Fly-out menu > Save Swatches > Give a name for your 'Blank swatch'. Close Photoshop.
    The next time you open Photoshop, you'll only see the 'Blank Swatch' that you had saved earlier unless you append/ change the swatches in your workflow and quit photoshop with the available swatch panel.

  • ? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

    I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

    Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case.  There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior.  You probably need to investigate that.  But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.'  Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.'  From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf.  If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides).  If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it.  It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
    This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

  • How do you change default note size

    This must be an old question but search found me nothing. I just want to find a default to change the note size for all slides to something besides the very large one I'm now stuck with. Thanks!

  • How do you change default e-mail address in iPhoto 9.6?

    I've changed my e-mail address but iPhoto defaults to the old one when I try to e-mail photos directly from iPhoto

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
    Delete and recreate your email settings.
    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.
