Convert Legacy Charts to Current Default Charts

You can convert charts from the legacy charts to the current default charts. When you convert a legacy chart, select the template that most closely matches your legacy chart in order to preserve as many settings as possible.

Note: You can convert legacy charts to current default charts, but you cannot convert current default charts back to legacy charts.

Procedure

From the Tools menu, click Options.
From the Advanced tab, clear the Use legacy chart authoring check box.
Right-click the legacy chart and click Convert Chart.
Select a new chart type, and click OK.
If some chart properties cannot be converted, the Chart Property Changes dialog box appears notifying you of the properties that cannot be converted.
