Released in 2002, JWalk Chart Tools was a popular Excel add-in that filled a few gaps and eased some annoyances around Excel charts.
JWalk Chart Tools 2.0 is a long-awaited upgrade to its predecessor. Some features have been removed, because Microsoft has changed some chart behaviors and added a few new features.
Like its predecessor, JWalk Chart Tools 2.0 is designed to work in Excel for Windows. Parts of it may work in Excel for Mac, but it has not been tested on a Mac, and there is no protection against bugs that may occur on a Mac. As time allows, it may be tested and modified as needed to work on a Mac.
