line graph change line thickness

Post by agibsonsw »

PowerPoint 2010.

I have a line graph with three series. Is it possible to change the thickness - the weight - of these three lines without having to change them individually?

No, that is not possible.

Workaround:
- Select the first series.
- Set the line width.
- Select each of the other series in turn (you can use the up and down arrow keys for this, or the mouse).
- Press F4 or Ctrl+Y to apply the same line width to the selected series.

It's probably also possible to use a macro for this, but I'm not sure how that would work in PowerPoint.
Best wishes,
Hans

Of course you could use a macro to change the line weigh, though it too will do it one at a time in a millisecond.
