Re: How Do I Change Text in the Legend of a Chart?

[FC]

Joost:
    Thanks.  I'm using Open Office Calc.  There are three Columns of 
Data I used
for the Chart.  I must have started the Data Range /below /the Column 
Headings.
Hence the three Labels appearing in the Legend, each preceeded by a Square
object with the same color or shading in the Column Bar as the Data 
Series it
represents, with the three Texts reading: Column E, Column D, and Column C.
It is these Texts I would like to change.
    I suppose I could change the Data Ranges to include the Column 
Headings.
If that's the easiest way then I need a reminder of how to do that.  
It's been
years since I created this, or any other Chart.

Hi Fred,

you usually just need to change the title of the colums within the 
source data set. If you create a chart within AOO then the chart is an 
OLE (object linking and embedding) object. Such objects share a 
connection to the source data within the document where you create the 
chart. In Writer (the wordprocessor) the source data is usually stored 
within a table and within Calc (the spreadsheet module) the source 
data is part of this document where every element (cell) of this 
document can be a source of a chart. I Calc to find out which table 
part is used as source data then open that document and doubleclick 
the chart. In this case source data for this chart is highlighted. In 
Writer unfortunately it isn't. This would be a useful feature to 
implement...

     I'm only an occasional chart maker.  I created a chart years ago,
of Column, Stacked, with three Data Sets.

     Will some kind person please remind me how to change the text
in the Legend for the three Data Sets?

Kind regards, Joost
