You can group the bar graph, scale and tick-mark labels so that
they’re handled as a single unit.
To create a tick-mark label:
1. Click the Text tool in the toolbox.
Or choose Text from the Objects " Graphics submenu.
2. Position the pointer and drag the text block to the size you want.
The text block is selected and you are placed in inner text mode.
3. Enter the label in the Text box.
As you enter the label, it’s also entered in the text block. An
asterisk (*) appears if the text exceeds the size of the block.
4. To create another label, repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Click the right mouse button to exit background text mode.
Or click the selection tool in the toolbox.
6. When done, click to exit inner text mode.
7. Resize the text blocks, if necessary, to fit all text.
When you deselect the text object, the border becomes invisible.
