formatting chart legends
I am trying to italicise only part of a series name in the legend of a chart.
For example if the series name is "A. glabrate flowers", then "A. glabrata" should be italicised in the legend (as it's the name of a species), but "flowers" should be normal text. I can't seem to be able to do this. Is it possible ? |

formatting chart legends
Only with a 'work around'
Click the chart and type A. glabrate flowers. This makes a text box and you can format individual letters in it. You must now double click the box border and format dialog give the box the same background colour as the legend. Now draw you box over the text in the legend. best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Dean1234567890" wrote in message ...
