Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / August 2007How to improve the look of legends
In bar or column charts, the legend shows too small a piece of the bar pattern to easily distinguish one from the other. How can I make it show a bigger bit of pattern? Thank you! > In bar or column charts, the legend shows too small a piece of the bar > pattern to easily distinguish one from the other. How can I make it show a > bigger bit of pattern? The legend marker sizes are set by the font size of the legend entries - the bigger the font, the bigger the marker. One can get a bigger marker for a font size by increasing the font size, then choosing sub or super-script, but that, IMHO, hardly improves the look of the legend. For a couple of clients, I've used a macro to create custom legends (by lining up symbols and text boxes, then drawing a box around them), but that can be a fairly complex process unless you're creating lots and lots of similar charts. |
