Format Fonts on an Excel Chart

In an Excel chart, you can easily format the font for an individual axis. Just follow these steps to make changes to the font:
- In a chart of your choice, right-click on an axis. It doesn’t matter if it’s the value or category axis,
- Choose Format Axis from the pop-up menu. The Format Axis dialog box appears.
- If necessary, click the Font tab to bring it to the top.
- Select different font settings and click OK.
Repeat Steps 1 through 4 to try different settings. The selected font settings are applied to just the single axis. The other axis or axes can be formatted in the same way.
Note the Auto Scale check box. When checked, the font size is enlarged or reduced as the chart is resized. When unchecked, the font size remains unchanged as the chart is resized.
