Adding Header and Footer Titles

A chart can have two titles, called the header and footer. A title consists of one or more lines of text with an optional border, both of which you can customize. You can also set the text alignment, positioning, colors, and font used for the header or footer.

Title Text and Alignment

Use the Text title property to add, change, or remove text for a title. Text is located on the Label Tab (Titles) on the Property Pages. To enter multiple lines of text, press RETURN between each line.

Use the Adjust title property to specify whether to center, left-justify, or right-justify a multi-line title. Adjust is located on the General Tab (Titles) on the Property Pages.

Title Positioning

Use the Left and Top location properties to customize the location of the title. When their IsDefault properties are used, the header is centered over the PlotArea and the footer is centered below the PlotArea. These properties are located on the Location Tab (Titles) on the Property Pages. See Positioning Chart Elements for more information.

Title Border

Use the Type and Width border properties to customize the title’s border. These properties are located on the Border Tab (Titles) on the Property Pages. See Using Borders for more information.

Title Colors

Use the interior properties to customize background and text colors of a title. These are located on the Interior Tab (Titles) on the Property Pages. See Setting Colors for more information.

Title Font

Use the font properties to customize the font used for a title. These are located on the Font Tab (Titles) on the Property Pages. See Choosing Fonts for more information.
