Adding T itles and a Legend
A picture is worth a thousand
words, but sometimes you need
to add a few words of
explanation — especially for a
chart.
When entering labels for the chart
title, series name, or category
name, the label must begin with a
non–numberic character . After
the first character , you may then
use numbers in your label.
Perhaps, you may want to use a
number in the first position of one
of these labels such as the year ,
1996. Y ou must convert the first
numeric character to a
non–numeric character . Do this
by first typing an apostrophe (')
and then the numeric characters.
Y ou can apply a variety of style
features to the text. For more
information about using text
features, see "Selecting and
Editing" in Getting Started. For
more information about using text
in graphics, see Drawing.
