Hi,

The only way to add text to the legend would be via a dummy data series.
This series could then have it's fill and border colours set to none.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks, however I was wondering whether it is possible to edit the legend box
itself to add a title, rather than adding an additional text box onto the
chart. This would be neater and could possibly be saved as a user-defined
chart format.

I have tried to resize the legend in an attempt to insert the text box above
the first legend entry, however Excel distributes the entries evenly,
rendering this useless.

Copy box to next chart

I need to put a small title in the legend explaining what the variables
represent in Excel XP. However, I cannot see a way of doing this without
some
severe paintshop editing. And I've got 100s of figures to do this on.

Any useful suggestions would be most welcome.

Steve
