Text Layout

You can change the layout of text in the chart. For example, you can specify that the text is displayed top to bottom or that there is more space between the text and the frame in which it appears.

How to Change the Text Layout

1. Select a text frame in the chart, such as a text box, annotation, or axis title. Do not select the actual text in the frame. Changes apply to all text in the frame.
2. If the Properties window is not already displayed, from the menus choose:

   Edit > Properties

3. Use the Text Layout tab to specify the text layout.
4. Click Apply.

Using the Text Layout Tab

Preview. The preview area displays your current choices and shows what the text will look like when you click Apply.

Justification. Change the position of the text in relation to its frame.

Padding. Specify the number of pixels between the text and the frame in which it appears. The change may not be apparent if the text is justified in the center of the frame.

Orientation. Choose an orientation for the text. You can also specify a custom number of degrees in a clockwise direction from the text being displayed left to right.
