Formatting a legend title
You can use a title for the chart legend. When you first add the title, the chart builder uses default font settings and the title appears above the list of legend items. You can change the font style and color of the title. You can also add a title outline, background color, or shadow, or position the title below, to the left, or to the right of the legend text.
To add and format the title of the legend, navigate to the Legend section of Format Chart. Figure 17‑70 shows the Legend section options. Select Visible to show the title, then type the title text. To format the title, choose Title. Then use the settings shown in Figure 17‑75 to format the title.
