To Apply a 3-D Format to the Pie Chart
Excel allows you to apply dramatic 3-D visual effects to charts. The chart shown in Figure 3–62 could be

Excel also allows you to change the appearance of the material from which the surface of the chart appears to be constructed.
The following steps apply a bevel to the chart and change the surface of the chart to a softer-looking material.
