Footnotes

Footnotes are text boxes that the Chart Editor automatically positions below the data frame (which is the frame around the axis titles and the graphic elements). If there isn't space for the footnote, by default the Chart Editor enlarges the outer frame to accommodate it. (You can change this default behavior. See Controlling White Space for more information.)

Note: Unlike text boxes, you should not move a footnote from its default position. If you want to place text at an arbitrary position, use a text box instead. See the topic Text Boxes for more information.

How to Add a Footnote

1. From the menus choose:

   Options > Footnote

   The Chart Editor creates the footnote and automatically positions it below the data frame.

2. Type the footnote text. To enter line breaks, press Shift+Enter.
3. Press Enter when you have finished typing.
4. If necessary, use the Text tab to format the text.

How to Delete a Footnote

1. Select the footnote's frame.
2. Press Delete.
