Is the border on the plot area, or do you mean the border on each of the pie slices? Basically, you need to double-click to open the chart, select whatever has the border on it (if it's the plot area, it may be hard to select, so use the drop down list box on the toolbar), and go to Format-->Selected Whatever, and select "none" in the Lines section. You can also double-click the chart part to open the Format dialog box or right-click and choose Format, but again, some parts are harder to select and double-click or right-click than others. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ PPTLive!
