RE: Powerpoint 2007 - charts

Hi Marie

Thank you for your question regarding the naming of axes in powerpoint charts.

The best way to achieve this is to:

- select the chart (this will open the chart tools on the ribbon)

- Select the 'Layout' tab

- Select Axis titles from the labels group

To name the X axis

- select 'Primary Horizontal Axis' - 'Title below axis'

- Type the name of the axis, hit enter & the name will be inserted

To name the Y axis

- select 'Primary Vertical Axis' - selecting the preferred style

- Type the name of the Y axis, hit enter & the name will be inserted.

NB When selecting the postioning of either the X or Y title, at the bottom of the menu you will also have a command for more options, this will present more options on formatting the titles.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post.

Regards,

Nafeesa

PowerPoint tip:

Animating charts imported from Excel

Once you have imported an Excel chart into a Powerpoint slide, it is possible to apply animation to individual components (e.g. each bar) of the chart.

Click on the imported Excel chart, then go to Draw - Ungroup on the Drawing toolbar (usually located at the bottom of the screen).

A message will appear warning that ungrouping will change the chart into a different type of object - click Yes, then go to Draw - Ungroup again.

You should now see the chart has been broken up into all its individual components.

Right-click on a component that you wish to apply animation to; then select Custom animation and apply animation using the task pane on the right of the screen.
