Changing Fonts Used in Charts
Summary: When formatting a chart, you might want to change the characteristics of the font used in various chart elements. This can be easily done using formatting techniques you may already know.When creating a chart in Excel, you can add various elements to the charts, such as titles or data labels. Excel allows you to change the font used to display these elements, if you desire. You can change fonts for these elements individually. To do this, use these steps:
- Make sure your chart is visible on the screen and you have selected it. (You do this by clicking on the chart.)
- Select the text element whose font you wish to change. For instance, if you want to change the chart's title, click on the title. Excel displays small black squares around the element; this lets you know it is selected.
- Display the Home tab of the ribbon.
- In the Font group, use the available tools to specify the font characteristics for the element you selected in step 2.
