2 Select the Show Legend checkbox in the Chart Inspector to make the legend appear on the
same slide as the chart.
To hide the legend, deselect the Show Legend checkbox or select the legend and press
Delete.
3 Select the legend and drag to reposition it on the slide canvas, or drag the selection handles
to resize it.
When a legend is placed on a slide, it behaves somewhat independently from the chart. You
can format the fonts or move it around the slide canvas. You can even copy and paste it onto
another slide. However, once you have copied and pasted the legend, it is no longer
connected to the data in the chart. So if you change the chart, the change will not be
reflected in the legend. To update the legend, you must select the chart and recreate the
legend.
Setting Chart Colors
You can format the bars, wedges, and area shapes that appear on each style of chart just as
you format any other drawn object. You can give them color fills, gradient fills, image fills,
shadows, opacity, or different line styles. These attributes are set in the Graphic Inspector.
To change the color or image in a bar, wedge, or area shape:
1 Select the item (bar, wedge, or area shape). If you select one bar in a bar chart, all the bars in
that data series are selected.
2 Choose properties as you would for any drawn object. For more information about changing
object properties, see Chapter 4, “Changing Object Properties.”
Changing Chart Fonts
You can change the fonts and text colors used for axis labels, data labels, and legends.
To change chart fonts:
1 Select the text you want to change. If you select the text for one data point or axis label, all
the text of that kind is also selected.
2 Choose Format > Fonts > Show Fonts (or click Fonts in the toolbar) to open the Fonts
window.
3 Select a font in the window.
For information about changing text colors, see “Changing Text Properties” on page 30.
