How do i create callouts for a graph?

[miami7680]

I am new to excel and i don't know how to use callouts. I have to make some
for a chart. I need help.

From the Drawing* Toolbar, click Autoshapes > Callouts
*If necess., activate the toolbar via View > Toolbars > Drawing

Select the callout you want, then draw it out on the sheet

Right-click on the callout perimeter > Choose "Format Autoshape'
This will bring up the multi-tab dialog for you to format to taste

And to quickly reproduce similar callouts which you have spent time
carefully formating to taste, just do copy and paste
