    How can I change the default chart callout color? - text & border?

    Re: Excel 2016 scatter charts.
    I spend too much time changing callout text and border colors to black. Is there a way to change the colors that appear by default when I create callouts?

    I have seen discussion for changing themes, including a thread I now remember starting 8 months ago at http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/show...efault+callout

    But I don't see an option for callout colors. I suspect they are included in a more general category - but I don't know what it is or how to specify it.

    This method formatted the my callouts correctly.

    1 RT-click a chart with correct formatting, [save as template]

    2 Apply the template to a new or existing chart.
    RT-Click [Change chart type]
    Select [templates]
    Select the template you previously created, [OK]

    Result
    Formats color of text & borders of callouts
    Calibrates x & y axes
    Removes axis titles & main title
