[nabs-l] Excel: Charts and Graphs with JAWS 17

[Alonza Harris]

Hi Christina, to find the axis, the chart must first be selected. You can add axes titles by going to the chart tools design tab on the ribon, click the add chart elements button, (this should be the first option once you reach the lower ribon section. When you click this button, a list of options will appear. Arrow down, until JFW anounces: "Axis titles submenu." In the same way, you can add your own axis by following steps similar to the ones I  described above. This will require sighted help.
Sincerely



Alonza.
