In Excel 2004 for Mac (and 2003 for PC), one could make the lines in a 3D line graph very thin. I have "upgraded" to Office 2011 (since my new iMac no longer supports Office 2004 software) and now the lines are thick and ugly. Going to Format Data Series -> Options, and making the Gap Depth at 500% (highest setting); then -> Line -> Weights and Arrows, and making the line at 0.25 point (lowest setting) is the best I can get it, but it still does not look crisp and neat as they did in the 2003/2004 versions. See attached image. Is there something I'm missing or is this just going to have to be it? I hate to have to dust off my old PC laptop from college every time I need to make a line graph.
