Chart Tools > Design tab > Select Data. Select the series under “Legend Entries (Series)”, click Edit, then click in the Series Name data entry box. Select a cell containing the series name, or type the name you want.

Before Word 2010, I could easily edit a misspelled legend entry in a graph. Now I can’t seem to change the spelling to the preferred one. I know I must be able to do this simple function but it is not a right click choice under EDIT ENTRY as it should be! Please Help! When I hit the little graph to enter the original data, I still don’t find a way to edit the spelling of an entry.

Although, well crafted VBA is always fun to look at for inspiration.

Cheers,

The more I look at this chart, the less effective I think it is. I think I’d prefer a clustered column chart.

Hi,

Wouldn’t the same information be better presented in a standard cluster chart?
Or perhaps a panel chart?

Just a thought.

Cheers,
