Basic Macros for Formatting Charts

I am trying to use a macro to format an x-y scatter plot. The formatting is always very similar for each graph so if I could record my format with a macro once it would make life a lot easier. I know some basics about macros and can format a spread sheet fairly easily. My problem arises when I try to format a graph. The macro recorder will stop and when I run the macro it will create the graph with no formatting changes. How/ can I record a macro to format my chart in the chart edit mode?
