Steps to format a graph report

1. Open a report. (How?)

2. If the report is not already displayed in Graph view, from the View menu, select Graph View. The Graph Type dialog box opens. Click OK.

3. From the Graph menu, point to Formatting, then select the object to format, such as Title, Legend, Subtitle, X Axis Label, and so on. The Preferences dialog box opens for the selected option.

   The options available depend on the graph type you are using. For example, you can select the Title option only if the graph type has a title in it.

4. Select a category to select various formatting options. (Not all graph types have all the categories listed below, or they may use different names.) Click the links below to see descriptions of the options for each category:

   • Font category

   • Fill category

   • Line or Border category

   • Number Formatting

5. After you finish formatting the graph object, do one of the following:

   • Click Apply to save your selections without closing the dialog box. Then continue formatting using the other categories.

   • Click OK to save all your selections and close the dialog box.
