Changing chart options

You can change the way data is plotted as well as the appearance of a chart’s
elements (the title, axes, series, series labels, or series symbols). Each type
of chart (this one is an X-Y scatter chart) contains most of the same elements.

To revise an existing chart, double-click the chart, or select the chart and
choose Chart Options from the Edit menu.

In the Chart Options dialog box, select chart options and make your changes.
To view other chart options, click the Gallery, Axes, Series, Labels, and General
buttons and choose among the options that appear. When you’re satisfied
with the chart, click OK.

Use this option in the
Chart Options dialog box
