Format axis labels

You can specify the font and alignment of axis titles and unit labels, and apply various formatting options.

If the chart does not have axis titles, you can add them in the Chart Options dialog.

  1. In Design Mode, double-click the chart. A hashed border is displayed.
  2. Double-click an axis title, or right-click and select Format Axis Label.

The Format Axis Label dialog has these tabs:

  • Pattern
  • Font
  • Alignment

In Design mode, you can drag an axis title or unit label:

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