Editing text in charts

You cannot type text directly into your charts. Any text must be selected in the worksheet when the chart is created, or added later using the Add... command.

Arranging the legend

You can reposition the legend on the page, or change the way it is displayed using the Legend command from the Chart menu.

  1. Select the chart by double-clicking it and choose Legend from the Edit sub-menu.
  2. Select On to display the legend.
  3. Select Arrange horizontally to display the legend horizontally.
  4. Click OK to confirm your changes.

Changing the style of text

You may change the style and colour of text directly in the chart. To do this:

  1. Select the text you want to change.
  2. Choose Text from the Style sub-menu.
  3. The Text style dialogue box will appear.
  4. Choose the typeface you want from the list, and if required select the Bold and/or Italic check buttons.
  5. Enter a height for the text (ie its point size). If you do not specify a width, the natural width of the type will be used.
  6. Specify a colour for the text.
  7. Click OK to confirm your changes.
