Editing Chart Axes

To edit the axes of a chart that you have inserted:

1. Double-click on the chart.

   A gray border appears around the chart and the menu bar now contains commands for editing the objects in the chart.

2. Choose \<emph\>Format - Axis\</emph\>, then select the axis (or axes) that you would like to edit. A dialog appears.

3. Select from the available sections and make the required changes (for example, select the \<emph\>Scale\</emph\> tab if you want to modify the scale of the axis).

4. Click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>. In your document, click outside the chart to exit chart editing mode.
