Adding and Editing Titles and Footnotes

You can add titles and footnotes to the chart to help a viewer interpret it. The Chart Builder also automatically displays error bar information in the footnotes.

Add or modify titles and footnotes

1. Click the Titles/Footnotes tab or click a title or footnote displayed in the preview.
2. Use the Element Properties tab to edit the title/footnote text.

For Title 1, an Automatic title is generated, based on the chart type and the variables used in the chart. This automatic title is used by default unless you select Custom or None.

How to Remove a Title or Footnote

1. Click the Titles/Footnotes tab.
2. Deselect the title or footnote that you want to remove.

1. In the Edit Properties Of list, select a title, subtitle, or footnote (for example, Title 1).
2. In the content box, type the text associated with the title, subtitle, or footnote.

You can use special codes in the title or footnote text to include the current date and time. When the chart is created, the code is converted to the result specified in the following table:
