Formatting the chart title text
You can modify the appearance of the title text in a number of ways. For example, you can change the font, size, color, style, or alignment of the text. You can also set the format to strike through or to rotate the title.

4 To accept your changes, choose OK, and choose Finish on the chart builder.
Formatting the title area
When you apply a background color or outline to a chart title, you can work with the entire title area or with only the text area. Figure 22‑66 shows the difference between the two areas in a sample chart.

If you apply a background color to the title area, the same color appears in the text area. Optionally, you can set a new background color or add a shadow to the text area. You cannot shadow the entire title area. To modify where the title appears within the chart, use anchor settings. To determine how much padding appears between the title or title text areas and other chart features, use inset settings.
To add a background color, outline, or shadow to the chart title text area, navigate to Title in the Chart Area section of Format Chart, then choose Text to see the options that are shown in Figure 22‑67. Use the settings to modify the title text.
