Page headings and page footings supply context and key information about a chart, such as its purpose, audience, and author. Page headings and page footings also enhance visual appeal.
The first procedure in this topic describes how to add a page heading and page footing to a chart. The second procedure describes how to control the way in which a page heading and page footing are rendered on a chart at run time. This is an optional feature that extends your capabilities when working with page headings and page footings.
In this procedure, you will add and style a page heading and page footing. The procedure uses sample values, but you can supply values that apply to your own charts.
This feature is available in Query Design view, Interactive Design view, and Document view.
The Heading & Footing dialog box opens.
By default, the Page Heading tab is selected. In this procedure, accept the default to add a page heading first.
Tip: Another way to access the Heading & Footing dialog box is to click the arrow next to the Head/Foot button. It opens a drop-down menu from which you can select the heading or footing that you want to work with. After you make your selection, the Heading & Footing dialog box opens, and the heading or footing that you selected is active.
For example, the text for a sample page heading might be Dollar Sales for Selected Products.
For example, click the arrow next to the font type field, and click HELVETICA. Click 10 for the font size. Click the Left justification icon to align the page heading on the left when the chart is run.
A sample page heading with the selected styling values is shown in the following image.
