SUMMARY
In Microsoft Excel version 3.00 it is possible to drag the legend to any position in the chart.

In versions of Microsoft Excel previous to 3.00 the legend in a chart can only be positioned in one of four fixed positions. To set these positions (bottom, corner, top, and vertical), do the following:


 * 1) From the Chart menu, choose Add Legend.
 * 2) Select the legend (which, by default, is located on the right side of the chart and is of vertical type).
 * 3) From the Format menu, choose Legend.
 * 4) Select the type of legend desired (Bottom, Corner, Top, or Vertical) and click OK.
