Change title text

If you only need to edit the text of the chart title, click on the title in the display area and make the edits.

If you need to change the border or format as well, expand the chart name, expand Titles, and double-click the chart, then use the tools in the Chart Title Design Tools popup as described in the next few sections.

 

1. Expand the Titles heading and double-click the title of the chart.

2. In the Chart Title Design Tools popup, edit the name in the Value field.

3. Use the ScriptStyle pulldown menu to enter or change selected characters to superscript or sub­script.

4. Use the Symbols pulldown to select a symbol to add or replace selected characters with.

Change title borders

Borders can be defined to outline the characters in the label or around the entire label (i.e., a back­ground border).

Tip: You may want to set up the colors and opacity for your borders first, otherwise, they may not be visible when you change the settings here.

 

1. Click Borders to view the settings.

2. Enter the thickness for the outline of the characters in the Border Width field.

3. Use the Border Style pulldown menu to choose the style for the outline (None displays a solid line).

4. Enter the thickness for the label border in the Background Border Width field.

5. Use the Background Border Style pulldown to choose the style for the label border.

Change title font and alignment

 

1. Click Font to view the settings.

2. Use the pulldown menus to set the family, size, style, and weight of the title font.

3. Click the desired alignment of the title. This only affects the alignment of the title text within the title background area, not the display area.

Change title area color

 

1. Click Color to view the settings.

2. Select the radio button of the item to change.

3. Click in the color wheel to select a color (or you can click one of the smaller circles to choose a more standard color). Alternatively, enter the RGB value for the desired color in the Red, Green, and Blue fields.

4. Adjust the Opacity of the color by moving the ball along the line. The farther to the right, the more solid the color, the farther to the left, the more transparent.

5. Adjust the Lightness of the color by moving the ball along the line. The farther to the right, the more white is mixed with the color, the farther to the left, the more black is mixed with color.
