HI Barb,
This worked for me

Sub ctitle()
mytitle = Range("Sheet1!title1") & Chr(10) & Range("Sheet1!title2")
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
Selection.Text = mytitle
End Sub

I had two cells named title1 and title2 on Sheet1
cheers

As this is related to charts, I thought I'd post it here instead of in the
programming thread.

I want to dynamically define the title for a chart. I'd like to have
what I'm calling a Level1 title and a Level 2 title in a named range.
When
I recorded a macro, this is what I got:

ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
Selection.Characters.Text = "Level 1 Title" & Chr(10) & "Level 2 Title"

Basically, I want to use a named range for "Level 1 Title" and another
named
range for "Level 2 title".

How do I get the title to be displayed the way I want programmatically?

Thanks
