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.
