Works 6: You Cannot Add a Legend/Series Label to Bar Charts (265978)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Works 6
  • Microsoft Works Suite 2001

This article was previously published under Q265978

SYMPTOMS

When you open a Microsoft Works Spreadsheet document from a version of Works earlier than Works 2000, and then you open a bar chart that was created in the older version of Works Spreadsheet, the chart legend may be missing.

The Legend/Series Labels command is not available on the Edit menu.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur with some one-series bar charts from earlier versions of Works Spreadsheet.

A one-series chart is a chart that contains data points from only one row or column of data.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, re-create the spreadsheet and save it as a Works 6 spreadsheet. All of the chart commands now work as expected.
