Why do chart titles look different in older versions of excel?

[hmmmidk220]

Sometimes I have to add charts to a page of old chart made with a previous version of excel, but I can never get the graphs to look the same.

The chart titles in the older version are darker, while the new version chart titles look lighter and more washed out.

Even if I match the font, font size, and bold off/on exactly I can't get them to match.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks!!

The font color is not the same—newer versions of Excel use a dark gray font.

I got annoyed at this so I added a one line macro to my Personal.xlsb:

Sub ChartFontToBlack()
' Change all text in the selected chart to black. The default is a dark gray.
    ActiveChart.ChartArea.Font.Color = 0
End Sub
