Formatting the Chart Legend
The chart legend displays very useful information. Be sure to format the legend so that it is as clear as possible.
To Format the Chart Legend:
- If the legend is not showing press the show/hide legend button
on the Chart Toolbar. - Click on the Chart Legend.
- Click the Format Button
on the Chart Toolbar (or double click the chart legend). - Use the different tabs of the Format Chart Legend dialog box to apply formatting to the Legend.
- Click OK.
The only way to change the actual text of the legend is to make changes to the source data.
