Changing Chart Layout

                 You can change the layout of your chart. This means that you can format, move and even add
                 components of a chart. Perform the following steps to change the chart layout:
                 Step 1   Select the chart and click on Add Chart Element command from the Chart Layouts
                          group under the Design tab of the Chart Tools tab. A drop-down list appears.
                 Step 2   Select the  Above  Chart  option  under
                          Chart Title to add a title at the top center    1
                          of your chart.
                 Step 3   Using the Axis Titles command under the         2
                          Chart Layouts group, you can add titles to
                          both, x-axis and y-axis. Remember, x-axis
                          is the  horizontal  axis and  y-axis  is the
                          vertical axis.
                 Step 4   The Legend command under the Chart Layouts group is used to move the legend of
                          the chart to left, right, top or bottom. It is also used to hide the legend in case there is
                          only one series of data.
