MS Office Forum / Excel / Charting / November 2006Can I add a title to the legend?
I need to put a small title in the legend explaining what the variables represent in Excel XP. However, I cannot see a way of doing this without some severe paintshop editing. And I've got 100s of figures to do this on. Any useful suggestions would be most welcome. Steve Add a text box: click on chart, drag text box from Drawing tool on to chart; add text to box; drag box to required position Copy box to next chart best wishes  SignatureBernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email >I need to put a small title in the legend explaining what the variables > represent in Excel XP.

This would be neater and could possibly be saved as a user-defined chart format. I have tried to resize the legend in an attempt to insert the text box above the first legend entry, however Excel distributes the entries evenly, rendering this useless.

This series could then have it's fill and border colours set to none.
