  2. Click the area of the graph where you want to position your text. A text box appears.
  3. Enter the text in the box.
    The width of the text box determines the maximum width of the text line. If a line exceeds the width of the text box, then the text wraps to the next line.
    If needed, drag one of the circles on the border of the text box to the right or left to widen the text box.

  4. If you want to format the text, select the entire text string. Then use the Formatting toolbar to change the appearance of the font. For formatting options, see Format a Text Annotation.
By default, if the text object was created in the data area then it is attached to the data, and any part that is outside the data area gets cropped. For more information, see Understanding Annotation Objects and Data .
