= SUMMARY =

Data labels in Microsoft Works for MS-DOS charts default to the format applied to the first Y series.

= MORE INFORMATION =

For example, if you want data labels on the chart to be in percent format, do the following:


 * 1) From the View menu, choose Spreadsheet (ALT, V, S).
 * 2) Highlight the series of values that is defined as the first Y series by using either the F8 key or the mouse.
 * 3) From the Format menu, choose Percent (ALT, F, P), and enter the number of decimal places. Press ENTER.
 * 4) View the chart (ALT+V).

All data labels are formatted as percent.

Note: The Y (vertical) axis and data labels work in a similar manner: formatting the first Y data series for a particular font and/or size (by selecting the cells, choosing Data Labels from the Data menu, choosing Create, and choosing Other Font from the Format menu) will result in the chosen font being applied to all data labels as well as the Y-axis labels.
