Hi Ty,

Create the text in a graphics program and save it as a JPG.

In Excel double-click the Chart Area and choose Fill Effects on the Patterns
tab, Picture, Select Picture and find your graphics file. *The Plot Area will
hide the text unless you double-click it and on the Patterns tab choose None
under Area

You can put the picture into the Plot Area instead by proceeding as above
with the plot area. *

Is it possible to add Text in the background of a graph in Excel 2003?


I know in MS word 2003 you can add Word Art and place the text behind
your normal text in the document.- Hide quoted text -


- Show quoted text -


Perfect! That worked.
