Adding gridlines to charts

All of the graphs except the Pie chart let you display gridlines along the x- or y-axis.

To add gridlines:

1

Select the chart and double-click the Chart tool.

2

In the Chart Type dialog box, click the chart type button.

3

Choose an Axis Display option to set where the vertical axis of the chart appears—to the right, to the left, or on both sides of the chart.

4

For Gridlines, select X Axis to extend gridlines from left to right along the x-axis, Y Axis to extend gridlines from top to bottom along the y-axis, or select both options to create a grid behind the chart.

5

Click Apply to preview your changes without closing the Chart panel, or click OK to apply the changes and close the panel.
