Pie Chart needs an outline for all slices

Hi there! I have a pie chart that sometimes has up to 20 different slices showing. It is displaying in color but the printer is black and white - I don't want to display in black and white because it changes to patterns and it is too hard to read.

When a slice is filled in with a light color, the black and white print out looks like there is a hole in the chart there. In Design view, I can select each one of the three displayed slices, go to Chart Options, and make an outline black - but it doesn't apply that outline to all the slices. Is there a way to automatically apply an outline to all slices?

I'm using Crystal 9 (service pack 2)

Thanks for the help!

In 8.0, using the chart analyzer->select the border of one slice->right click->format chart->selected item->line, if you change the width of the line, it changes the border around every pie slice. Not sure this applies in 9.0...

I did that thinking it would change everything, but in preview, only the slice I clicked on gets a border. There must be something I'm missing but it escapes me right now!
