Task 5:  Change the chart and value series titles

Currently, the chart displays a default title. You provide new text for the title. The chart also displays a default title for the value series. Because there is only one value series in the chart, the number of orders, no title is necessary. You hide the series title.

2	Choose Format Chart. In the navigation list, choose Title. The title properties appear in the lower pane of the chart builder, as shown in Figure 14-12.
