How do you change the color of a text string?

How do you change the color of a text string? It's static, it's not conditional, it's not a dimension, it's not an expression.

If it is a text object, all you need to do is update the font color in the 'Font' tab.

It's not a text object either.

What is it?  Could you attach your QVW or a sample and show which text you want to change the color?

I'll explain what I'm trying to do. I have a chart where I'm adding a label to the y axis. I used the 'Text in Chart' function to create the label. I can rotate the label and place it next to the y axis with no problem. However its a little cramped visually. So I'm trying to make more space between the label and the numbers on the axis. By using the Symbol function in the Number settings I can type in text that creates more space. But I need to make that text transparent.

you can change the position, background color, font, font color, font transparency of text in chart

There isn't a way to show pieces of one string with 1 color / transparency and other pieces with another. You may need to have 2 'text in charts' but that could get complicated.  If you are trying to squeeze it in could you use the CTRL-SHIFT capability to resize the objects in the chart ?

Resizing the other objects worked. I knew I was making it more difficult that necessary. Thanks.
