You should be able to do this with graphs in Version 12. At least, I
have been able to change single bar colors using the beta version. I
assume they will keep that feature.

folks, while we're on this topic....we export data to excel and make
charts
there as well. we THEN convert to adobe to upload to our website.
unfortunately, excel queues the internal printing into segments not in
order. a very frustrating process. I'm hoping SPSS will direct effort
into
not just improving statistical capabilities but examine what we're
doing
with the data and streamline the process. first, great strides need to
be
made with the graphing! then onward to the dissemination issues.

Monica and Myles,
I have faced the same problem as well and find that it's easier to
export
the data to Excel and make the charts there. Clunky but effective. If
you
find a better solution, let me know. Cathy Brawner
