Chart titles in Excel 2008

[Fernando]

XL 2008 doesn't have a chart wizard. If I use the elements gallery, the program picks the top line above each data series as the series name, but I can't find a way to add titles to the chart or the axes. I haven't been able to access the "chart options" menu.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Fernando

You can place a text box in the plot area. You may have to resize the plot
area and format the text box, but the end result can be made to look like an
axis title.

Re: Chart titles in Excel 2008To add titles to charts I suggest going to the Formatting Palette->Chart Options pane and then enter title information in the Titles section.
