Excel 2003 Graphing
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. |

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. -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Ty" wrote: Is it possible to add Text in the background of a graph in Excel 2003?

If the answer works for you can you indicate that by clicking the two yes
statements on the right of the question. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Ty" wrote: On Jun 30, 8:36 pm, ShaneDevenshire wrote: Hi Ty, Create the text in a graphics program and save it as a JPG.
