Create a chart Select the chart Format (pull down menu) Selected Chart Area Colors & Lines Round Corner check box (at bottom) Save the template sheet, close Excel 2004, then open the template sheet with Excel 2011. Copy and Paste the chart to the sheet where you want the chart. The corners remain round and look outstanding. With the chart now on Excel 2011, change the chart's source data to the sheet where the chart now resides. Top Excel Menu Bar select Chart Source Data Y Values (change source for each Series to match the new sheet) I have both of the Excel versions on an old Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The charts created with the 'Round Corner' format.
Look much better that the 'round corner rectangle' behind a chart. You can see examples at http://www.macdtrucking.com/s%26p-500-daily-charts.html.
