Help needed to add commets, arrows, etc to existing graph...

[nick kno]

I am wanting to add comments and arrows (that look proper) and fill in the area between two lines on a line graph i have created in excel. Can someone please guide me on how this may be done...

I was thinking:
i. there may be a way to do it in excel that i am not aware of,
ii. there may be another charting program which will draw the charts with all the frills from data exported from excel,
iii. there may be another program that allows me to add stuff to already created excel charts,
iv. something else.

My aim is to export these graphs to word - they will form part of a report i am writting.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi nick kno,
All you need to do is enable the drawing toolbar on your excel.
To do this, click Tools -> Customize
Then on the toolbars tab, put a check beside "Drawing" and click close
On that toolbar, you have all you need to draw arrows, textboxes, lines, and
any other shapes you might want.
