Cut A Legend From A Chart
Is it possible to cut a legend from a chart so that I can paste it somewhere
else on a ppt slide? It is currently on the right side of a chart but would like to cut it out and display it horizontally on the bottom of the slide. Using 2007 |

Cut A Legend From A Chart
You can right-click the legend and choose Format Legend and from there opt
to display it on the bottom and it will move stuff around automagically. Or you can use the Legend options on the Chart Tools Layout tab. Or you can copy the chart, Paste Special (on the Home tab) as EMF and then right-click and ungroup twice. Delete the extraneous stuff and then group the legend and move / resize it as necessary. Then delete the legend from the original chart by selecting the legend and right-clicking and choosing Delete or using the Delete button on your keyboard. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx Don't Miss the PPTLive User Conference!
