To add a title to a chart:
Double-click the chart with your left mouse button.
Right-click the chart once. A menu will appear.
Click Chart Designer. The Chart Designer window will open.
In the box on the left, click Title. Here, you can click a tab for further options:
Location: Allows you to specify the location of your title in your chart. To show the title on your chart, check off Visible. (If Visible is NOT checked off, then your title will NOT appear.)
Backdrop: Allows you to change the background color and border of your title. In the Fill section, you can specify the background fill style. Select a Gradient or Brush (pattern), and the fill colors. In the Frame section, you can add a border to your title. Select a Style (Single Line, Double Line, etc.) and Color. In the Shadow section, you can add a shadow behind your title box. Select Drop from the Style box.
Picture: Allows you to place an image behind your title. Click Browse to select an image file.
Layout: Allows you to change the alignment and orientation of your title.
Text: Allows you to edit your title. Enter your title in the Text box.
Font: Allows you to change the font attributes of your title. Select a Font (Arial, Times New Roman, etc.), Font Style (Regular, Bold, Italic), Size, Effects (Strikeout, Underline), and Color.
When you are done, click Apply, and then OK.
Footnotes
To add a footnote to a chart:
Double-click the chart with your left mouse button.
Right-click the chart once. A menu will appear.
Click Chart Designer. The Chart Designer window will open.

When you are done, click Apply, and then OK.
Axis Titles
Adding titles to your X, Y, and Z axes is very similar to adding chart titles and footnotes. For example, to add a title to your X-axis:

Click Chart Designer. The Chart Designer window will open.
In the box on the left, double-click Category (X) Axis.
Click Axis Title. Here, you will be given the options similar to when adding a chart title (see Step 4, above).
When you are done, click Apply, and then OK. (If the axis title does not display, try enlarging the box containing the chart.)
