Formatting the Bar Graph

Although there are many options under the six tabs for modifying the appearance of your graph in this step, we will only be adding a title to our bar graph.

All parts of the graph can be modified after you have completed the Chart Wizard.

It is not necessary to make all of your formatting options right now.

For this tutorial

  1. Click on the titles tab at the top of the dialog box.

  2. In the Chart title box, type the title The Cookie Shop 2003 - 2005 Income.

    Note: As you type the titles, they should be added to the preview window to the right.
