Help with Bar Graph 1 in Visio 2003

[bjslone]

When I dragged the Bar Graph 1 on to the page it already had values in the
bars. When I go in to change the value it goes off charts literally because
the values are set at 100. How do I change them?

Select the column you wish to change, use the Text button to edit the
text and change the number to a new value.
Not as nice as the pie chart is it?

Thanks for the reply! It does work, HOWEVER, I'm obviously still "challenged"
because I can't seem to get it to do what I want. Here's what my graph is
suposed to be: Six bars each representing a month on the X axis. Then amounts
from 25,000 to 250,000 (in increments of 25K) on the Y axis representing the
number of hits to a web page. When I change the amount to anywhere near what
I want it's absolutely huge and way off the page. I can't seem to make the
amounts on the Y axis represent what I want on the bars. Any suggestions??

Well, you see the red 100 on the left hand side, that's the scale. You
have to use the text tool on that column. With large numbers you'll
need to set the font at a smaller size.
