Question

A user wishes to change a 'Text Option' as an element of chart. State how can this be done.

Hint:

The text in a chart element can be changed in two ways.
One way uses the regular text formatting options. The other way uses WordArt styles.

Step 2: Method 1: Select the chart element:

Click the formatting option wanted on the Mini toolbar.
Or, on the Home tab, in the Font group, click the formatting buttons that we want to use.

In a chart, click the chart element that contains the text to be changed.
Or click anywhere in the chart. Then choose the element from the list of chart elements.

Step 5: Method 2: Open the chart tools:

This adds the Design, Layout and Format tabs.

Step 6: Method 2: Pick the element and style:
On the Format tab, in the Current Selection group, click the arrow next to the Chart Elements box. Select the element to be formatted.
