Format chart titles

You can specify the font, alignment and position of chart titles and apply various formatting options.

If the chart does not have a title, you can add one in the Chart Options dialog.

  1. In Design mode, double-click the chart. A hashed border is displayed.
  2. Double-click the chart title, or right-click and select Format Chart Title.

The Format Chart Title dialog has these tabs:

  • Pattern
  • Font
  • Alignment
  • Options

On the Options tab you can specify one of these positions for the chart title:

  • Top left
  • Top center
  • Top right

Or, in Design Mode, you can drag the chart title to any required position:

  1. In Design Mode, double-click the chart. A hashed border is displayed.
  2. Click the chart title. A black square is displayed at each corner of the title.
  3. Drag the title to the required position.
