Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for changing chart text fonts.

You can change the font type, size, color, and style of:


 * 1) Tick mark labels along each axis
 * 2) Text in the legend
 * 3) Data, value, and percent labels

To change the text font and style:


 * 1) Select the text to change.
 * 2) Choose Font from the Format menu.
 * 3) Click on the font type, size, style, and color you like.
 * 4) Click OK.

The area behind the text can be either transparent or opaque. Transparent means that you’ll be able to see the pattern or object behind the text as well as the text, while Opaque writes text on a solid-fill rectangle. Use Opaque for data labels so that the text of the labels will stand out from a filled bar, column, pie slice, or area.
