Labeling a chart

You may also want to label your chart with such information as the title and what the X and Y axes represent. In the default chart, the X axis is the horizontal information, while the Y axis is the vertical information.

To label a chart:

• Click Chart Chart Options.
• A dialog box appears.
• Click the Titles tab if it is not already selected.

• In the box below Chart Title, type in the title.
• In the box below Category (X) axis, type in the label for this information. It appears in the rows to the left of the datasheet and in a box to the right of the chart.
• In the box below Value (Y) axis, type in the label for this information.
• Click OK.

To change text alignment of the label:

• Right-click the text and choose Format Axis title.

• Click the Alignment tab.
• Choose your text alignment and orientation options.

• Click OK.
