Hi Folks,

I’m getting ready to submit an article to a journal and I need to change my bar graphs from color to some sort of pattern for black and white printing. After searching the web, it looks like I may not have any options other than downloading programs or registry key fooling around which I can’t do on my work computer.

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to do this in Word/Office 2007? Other than demand my IT folks get me 2010 (where I guess they put it back).

Thanks.
