Labels on charts

[LonnieJohnson]

I am new to CR and have a bar chart on a crystal report. I have copied the report 4 times. I had to modify the chart to use different datasources based on the nature of the report.

I have noticed that on my charts there are some differences and I don't know how I got them.

1) The label on one of the graphs is vertical and horizontal on another. How do I change that.

2) The title on one graph is inside the grid and outside the grid on another.

Not sure how I got these out of whack but cannot find the property to change the back.

There's a few ways to manipulate the format of the graph. I would recommend doing it in the design tab rather than the preview tab. You can right click on the graph and either choose chart expert, or there's also a chart options that has Template, General, Titles, Grid and Selected Item options to choose. Inside each of these there's alot of things to change optionwise for the chart.
You can also click on any item inside the chart maiking a box appear around it to either move it around placement wise, or while it's active, right click and choose Chart Options the Selected Item and you can format that specific item.

This is for Crystal 10, I'm not sure if it's the same with earlier versions..

I would recommend also not playing around with your original report, but make a copy of it to play around with, so if something happens, you'll have a backup original.

I'm sorry, I should have said that I am using VS 2005 with the CR that ships with it. I am not able to click on the individual items within the graph. That is what I would like to do.
