We are moving to a new blogging platform on July 1st. In the interim I can not post to this blog so Im off for some Blogging R&R. the new platform looks so much better for you folks. I'll be able to categorize more easily, even hierarchies and tag articles so searching is going to be much easier. We have plans to group articles together based on category and tags and generate PDF docs for you in the near term and make them available on our OTN pages - life will be sweeter.
Don't panic, you will still be able to access all existing articles both before and after the move to our new host.
See you in July!

OK, I lied, Im squeezing one more in before the migration ...
Got a couple of bugs today asking about how to add and change chart titles. Its not tough, but for now its a code update. Once you have the base chart in your template, double click the image to get the Word dialog up. Got to the Web tab to see the XML for the chart
Heres the code for various titles
<Graph version="3.2.0.22">
X Axis Title
<O1Title horizontalAlignment="LEFT" text="My X Axis" visible="true">
<GraphFont name="Times New Roman" size="12" bold="false" italic="true"/>
</O1Title>
Chart Title
<Title horizontalAlignment="LEFT" text="My chart" visible="true">
<GraphFont name="Times New Roman" size="12" italic="true"/>
</Title>
Y Axis Title
<Y1Title horizontalAlignment="LEFT" text="My Y axis" visible="true">
<GraphFont name="Times New Roman" size="12" bold="false" italic="true" textRotation="TR_HORIZ_ROTATE_270"/>
</Y1Title>
</Graph>
Things are going to get better I promise, the next release of the template builder for Word 10.1.3.4 will expose these properties thru a dialog.
OK, thats it for a couple of weeks!
