Inserting comments on graphs
How do I insert a comment on a graph. I want to call out something on the
graph. I have tried drawing an arrow and adding text by the arrow but it is not part of the graph and is sent behind the graph when the graph is selected. Thanks. Chris |

Maybe you can use a textbox from the Drawing toolbar (or some other shape).
Make sure that the chart is selected before you add the object. (You don't want to add it to the worksheet.) Christopher Anderson wrote: How do I insert a comment on a graph.

Select the chart (if it's on a worksheet, you'll see black squares
on the sides and corners of the selected chart) On the drawing toolbar, click the AutoShapes button Choose Callouts, and click on one of the callout shapes On the Chart, drag from the point out to where you want the comment Release the mouse button Type your comment where the cursor is flashing.
