Let’s now look at the Chart Title and what we can do with that. If I right click on it
and I go to Format Chart Title, you’ll see for the most part, the options available are
exactly the same as the Chart Area and a number of different areas in the chart – so we
can change the Fill, Solid, Gradient, etc. The Border Colour, the Border Styles, Shadow,
3D Format.
The new option here is something called Alignment. What this allows you to do, is to align what
way the Title must lie. So depending on how big your Chart Title Area is, you can choose
what to appear on the top, middle, bottom, etc. All these options exist. The text direction
allows you to change the direction of the text so at the moment we have got it horizontal
– that way. Let’s make it 90 degrees so you’ll see you push it down that way. Maybe
you would prefer it that way or perhaps stacked like that. We are back to horizontal and you’ll
see we can actually do a custom angle. So you can see as I change these the graph is
changing. Let’s go back to zero. Depending on what you have chosen as well, some of these
might become available so you can Autofit, change the margins, etc. So that’s the only
real new thing available under the Chart Title.
