The chart title is where you can describe the subject of the chart. The chart legend shows which colors used in the chart represent which data series.
You can show or hide a chart’s title or legend, change the appearance of its text, and drag it wherever you want it to appear on the same slide. To change any chart attribute, first select the chart.
-
To show the title or legend, choose View > Show Inspector, and then click the Chart inspector button. Select Show Title or Show Legend.
-
To give the chart a new title, select the text in the title box and type a new one.
-
To edit the labels in the legend, click Edit Data to open the Chart Data Editor, and then edit the series labels in the Chart Data Editor or select the legend and edit the text directly in the legend.
-
To format the text in the legend or title, see the topics listed under More Formatting Text Size and Appearance.
To add additional descriptive text elements to a chart, create a free text box; see About Free Text Boxes and Text in Shapes. When you’ve finished formatting your chart, you can group the free text box with the chart, so that the text box and chart always move together if you should decide to move the chart; see Grouping and Ungrouping Objects.
