There is no problem with the Heading. The problem is with the Headings that
are at the bottom of each column.  They seem to be unmovable.  Anyhow what
is use as a Heading for the column is tricky.  If X12 (any letter before
any number) is a column heading the column heading under the column will be
just the 12.  If a space is put between the X and the 12, the column
heading will be X 12.  I can not figure out how to manage the column
heading.
When the column heading are too long to fit below the columns, and
something is set properly, the heading we be in alternating rows so they
can be read.  If the settings are not set properly the heading will be in
just one row and can not be read.

Hi :)
I think you can move the heading.  Can you click into the chart somewhere
and then imagine a frame around the heading and try to click on it?  Once
you have found and selected the frame it should be fairly easy to drag it
somewhere.

Tom :)

Yes Tom, something is a bit wondy (As an American I do not know the true
meaning of the word wonky but it sounds both good and correct).
And yes, the guide you gave the link to is a good guide.   I used Chapter
3, Creating Charts and Graphs when I first started to learn about Charts.
It did show me how to create a column chart very quickly.  The problem with
all the teaching documentation is that it is written by people with a lot
of knowledge so that you have to have more knowledge that the average
person has in order to understand what the teaching documentation is
saying.  I originally started the website Tutorials for OpenOffice.  At one
point there were more people coming to the Tutorials for OpenOffice website
than coming to the User Group at OpenOffice.  If anyone is interested I
would be glad to discuss this more.  There is a need to have teaching
material that supplements the official teaching documentation of LOo.

I have done just about nothing with the chart.  I will watch to see if the
lag time is a  problem.  I do have a problem.  The labels do go correctly
at the bottom of the charts when there are some negative numbers below the
zero line.  However if I make the chart wider, the negative part of the
column covers the title of the column

Hi :)
There is a good guide here



http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Calc_Guide


I'm not really sure how to summarise as it sounds like you are doing the
right thing but something is obviously a bit wonky.  When you enter new
data to replace values in the data-range do you press enter and then give
it a little moment?  It doesn't take long but it's not exactly instant.
Perhaps a minute or less.

Apols and regards from
Tom :)

Thank all of you for the help.  The chart is an embedded object that I

can

change and save.

Hi.
I think if you click on the chart you should get handles on the outside

of

the chart.
You should be able to click on the lines (and other components) in the
chart and get handles.
You should be able to right click on these components with handles and
change properties.

No, I do not have a chart that can be updated.  I open the spreadsheet

Wizard to modify what is in the chart such as adding a title.  I then

 Hi :)

Have you already got a chart that updates when you update the data?

It

should do unless you have done the classic of over-complicating

things

which i'm sure we all do from time-to-time.

correct that the only way to change the image is to start all over

 I made a chart that had 2 problems.


1st problem:  There was a series of numbers under the columns

that I

believe were the names of each column.  The first column was 1,

the

second
column was 2, etc.   How do I change the number to the real name I
want
to
use?

 Either insert a new row A and enter the names or replace the

place

holders with the correct names in row A.


 2nd problem:  some of the columns were negative numbers and were

below

the
zero line.  This caused the column to be over the number (over the


name)



of

the column thereby hiding the number/name.  How do I correct this?

 Where you graphing the numbers?
