Changing the font in Excel

To change the font used in a chart in Excel:
Click the chart text, or select the individual characters you want to format.
If a chart title or text box is linked to a worksheet cell, you can change the formatting of all characters in the title or text box at the same time, but you cannot change individual characters.
To change the formatting for all of the text in the chart at the same time, click the blank area between the border of the chart and the plot area to select the chart area.


On the Formatting toolbar, click a button for the format you want.
To see other font options, such as superscript and subscript, click the text you want to change.
On the Format menu, click the command for the chart item you want to format ? for example, Selected Axis Title or Selected Object. (The name of the command depends on the chart item selected.)
Ten select the options you want on the Font tab.
