Yes, you insert a chart on your slide, and then you spend an hour slaving over this chart to get it just perfect! You really do not want to spend a few more hours creating more charts just like the one you created. It's only fair to have to do this task once, and then easily replicate your chart formatting thereafter for any new charts you may want to create.
You can actually attain this objective by saving your chart's formatting attributes as a chart template. Saving a chart template saves all the tweaks and formatting you made. Thereafter, you can use the chart template as a starting point to create a new chart. And you can make multiple chart templates and save them to use later.
