Add a Title or a Footnote

If you created the graph from the Graph Gallery, then your graph might already have title and footnote placeholders. You can edit the title or footnote in order to change its text. See Edit and Format a Title or Footnote.
If you created the graph from a blank graph, or if you want to insert an additional title or footnote, follow these steps:
  1. Select one of the following options:
    • To add a title, select Insertthen selectTitle, or click Title icon in the toolbar. A new title text box is added above the graph. If one or more titles already exist, the new title is added below the others. Here is an example title that is added to the graph.
