I am using Crystal Reports 8.5

This is the first time exploring Charts and the question i have might have a simple answer (I hope).

The report:
Customer Name
Part Number
Customer Due Date
Ship Date
Number of Days Early
Number of Days Delinquent

That part was easy, I got what the user wanted. Now the user wants to have a Chart (Pie) for a visual for our customers to see.

I am using a Pie Chart, placing it in the Report Footer, the user does not want to have pie charts for each group, I need to have just one Pie Chart at the end. The Pie chart consists of 2 objects for a period of time (Number of Days on time and Number of days delinquent) The labels in the pie chart are coming up with:
"Sum of @Number of Days Early" and "Sum of @Number of Days Delinuent and I would like to not have the "Sum of @" at the beginning of the Label, also I want to change the location of the Legend.
I am using the formula below to get the Number of Days Delinquent that is used in the Detail section of the report and the forumla is used in the Chart Wizard. (a simular formula for the number of days early)

If {SO_Detail.CUSDUE_28} < {SO_Detail.SHPDTE_28}
then {SO_Detail.SHPDTE_28} - {SO_Detail.CUSDUE_28}


I am looking at a text book for Crystal Reports 9.0 and in the chapter for Charts it says that you can Modify Individual Objects in the Chart,
"The ability to do this within Preview is new to Crystal Reports 9.0. It is important to recongnize the chart as a series of individual objects with their own formatting options and settings. By selecting an item, those optins will become enable for our use."

The problem I am having is I can not select any objects in the Chart area. Is it possible to select objects (field name, legend) in 8.5? Or am I going about this all wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
Thanks,
Robin
 
I also want to change the text in the Legends box---Remove the "Sum @" wording.
