  2. In the Object Type box, select Microsoft Graph and choose the OK button.

  3. In Microsoft Graph, choose Chart from the Window menu.

  4. Make sure no other text in the chart is selected.

  5. Type "Microsoft Graph" (without the quotation marks).

  6. Press the ESC key to select the text.

  7. Use the mouse to drag the text to the center of the chart.

Note: Be sure to click the outside edge of the text to drag it; otherwise, you will be in text editing mode.

Notice that "Microsoft Graph" is displayed in the center of the chart. Using the mouse, you can drag and drop this text to any location on the chart.
