Legend text bold?

Thu, 01 May 2014 16:24:55 GMT

Is it possible to make legend text bold for some expressions? For each expression I have made the value at the top of each bar bold, but I do not see how to make the legend text bold.

This is how I accomplished it for the value text on top of the bar:

That makes everything bold. I only want to make one of my expressions bold and want the other to remain regular font.

I am not trying to format cells, I am trying to format the legend in a bar graph. To make it more clear, here is a screen shot, you can see that the values on the top of the yellow bars or bold, but the text in the legend is not bold for the yellow item:

Hi Jessica,

Now, I get what you are saying. Unfortunately, there is no setting to control individual items on legend. Formatting works on legend based on all or none principle. If you are desperate to get it bold then you can get rid of legend and then have two textboxes. You need to disable Allow Move/Size option under layout tab. This way the textbox doesn't move but I really don't recommend this approach unless this is vital functionality.

Thanks,
