You can format any text object on your chart, such as the chart title and chart axis labels using the formatting techniques that you have already learned. You can change the text or apply various formatting such as bold, italics, font size, font type, text alignment, and colors and patterns. Use the Mini-Toolbar which displays when you right-click on highlighted text or any of the commands on the Font group on the Home Ribbon.

You can use the Format Object dialog box, which allows you to apply a wide variety of formatting from one location. Right-click the object and choose Format [Selected Object] from the contextual menu. Click the desired tab in the left pane and make your selections.
