data markers with
shapes or clip art for

Using a Shape in Place of a Data Marker
Replacing a data marker with one of the 175 shapes in the Shape dialog box is slightly

Data Series dialog do not allow you to specify a shape. However, they allow you to import
a shape from the Clipboard.
For best results,don’t combine a picture with translucent surfaces.
