The chart is a very useful feature to graphically represent or visualize any kind of data in a way to create maximum impact on target audiences. Charts allow users to see the results of the represented data in order to better understand and predict current and future data.
In a Word document, there are various types of charts available to work with based on the needs of users. To make a chart easier to understand, the chart title and axis titles can be added to any type of chart. Axis titles are typically available for all axes that can be displayed in a chart and most commonly used chart types have two axis. The X-axis along the bottom of the chart, usually the horizontal axis and the Y-axis along the left, usually the vertical axis.
