#INCLUDE A CALLOUT IN WORD 2013 SERIES#
Once the series is selected, wait a moment and then click the same data point again. The first time you click the point, the entire data series is selected.
Most people use a different approach to adding explanatory text to their charts. There is no way in Excel to link a callout to a specific chart point. The callout isn't locked to a specific place on the chart it just overlays the chart to give the desired effect.
The reason for this is that the callout and the chart are not related. (It still points to where the aberration used to appear on the chart.) The problem is, if you change the data range displayed in the chart, the perspective of the chart changes, and the callout no longer points to where it used to point. This makes them great for pointing to the aberration you want explained in your chart. For instance, there may be a spike or an anomaly in the data, and you want to include a callout that explains the aberration.Ĭallouts, when drawn using the drawing tools available in Excel, are graphic objects that have a "connector" that can point where you want it. After creating a chart in Excel, you may want to add a callout or two to the chart.
