Applying a conditional formatting specification

When you open the conditional formatting pane, a number of default conditional formatting specifications are available. You can apply these specifications directly to the items on your chart.

To apply a conditional formatting specification:

1. To open the Conditional Formatting pane, click the Style tab, and then click Conditional Formatting > Conditional Formatting Pane.
2. In the Conditional Formatting pane, from the commands in the Actions panel at the bottom of the pane, select:

   Option	Description
   Format with Selected Specification	Use the specification that is selected in the upper part of the Conditional Formatting pane to format all items on the current chart.
   Format Selected Items with Selected Specifications	Use the specification that is selected in the upper part of the Conditional Formatting pane to format items that are selected on the chart.
   Undo Formatting	Remove the last conditional formatting specification that was applied.

   Any items on your chart that meet the criteria will be modified, a Formatting progress status window will notify you of the changes that are made.
3. Click Close to return to your chart.
