Figure 1-11:
Formatting the Chart Title with the options in the Format Chart Title task pane.
As you can see in Figure 1-11, there are two groups of Fill & Line options: Fill and Border (neither of whose particular options are initially displayed when you first open the Format Chart Title task pane — in this figure, I clicked both Fill and Border so that you could see all of the Fill options and the
first part of the Border options). Next to the Line & Fill button is the Effects button (with the pentagon icon). This button has four groups of options associated with it: Shadow, Glow, Soft Edges, and 3-D Format.
You would use the formatting options associated with the Fill & Line and Effects buttons in the Title Options group when you want to change the look of the text box that contains the select chart title. More likely when format- ting most chart titles, you will want to use the commands found in the Text Options group to actually change the look of the title text.
When you click Text Options in the Format Chart Title task pane, you find three buttons with associated options:
✦ Text Fill & Outline (with a filled A with an outlined underline at the bottom icon): When selected, it displays a Text Fill and Text Outline group of options in the task pane for changing the type and color of the text fill and the type of outline.
✦ Text Effects (with the outlined A with a circle at the bottom icon): When selected, it displays a Shadow, Reflection, Glow, Soft Edges, and 3-D
