Make Text Part of Chart
I want to make a text box part of a chart. I know how to
add text to a chart with a text box, but then it disappears when I click on the chart to copy it. It also moves when I resize a chart, and I would like the text to stay where it is relative to my placement. Is there an add-in for the feature, or am I up a creek without a paddle? thanks. |

Make Text Part of Chart
Select the chart, and type the text you want to appear on the chart.
As you type, you'll see the text in the formula bar. Press Enter, and a text box will appear near the centre of the chart. Drag it to any location within the chart, and format as required.

Make Text Part of Chart
OK I got that part. But now if I click on the chart to
copy it, the text box disappears and does not copy. I also encounter the problem that if I resize the chart, the text box does not move with the chart and I have a long task of moving the items. (By the way, when I mention text, I mean more than one comment on the graph and numerous other little add-ons. Thanks, but my question has to do with management instead of creation. -----Original Message----- Select the chart, and type the text you want to appear on the chart.
