Add or Edit Titles and Footnotes

You can add multiple titles and footnotes to a graph. The limit to the number of titles or footnotes that you can add depends on the size of your graph. As you add more titles or footnotes, the Y axis of the graph shrinks proportionally to the point where the graph is no longer visible.

If you create the graph from the Graph Gallery, then your graph already has a title and footnote with default text. You can edit the title or footnote in order to change its text as follows:

Double-click the default text.
Type the text that you want.

If you create the graph from a blank graph, or if you want to insert an additional title or footnote, complete these steps:

Select one of the following options:
- To add a title, select InsertTitle, or click 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.
- To add a footnote, select InsertFootnote, or click in the toolbar. A footnote text box displays in the bottom left corner of the graph.
In the title or footnote text box, type the text that you want.
(Optional) Repeat the previous steps to add another title or footnote.

You can later right-click a title or footnote in order to change its properties.
