Displaying annotations

You can choose whether or not to display annotations in the bar chart. You can turn annotations on and off at any time while working in the bar chart.

To turn annotations on or off:

On the Format tab, in the Format group, click Format Bar Chart. The Format Bar Chart dialog appears.
Click the General tab.
From the Annotations group, select:

Off to turn all annotations off.
On by category and select the check boxes of the categories that you want to display. For example, if all your cost allocations are in a Costs category you might want to turn this category off when presenting the project to junior employees.
Select the Ignore filters check box to display all annotations including any that have filters. When this box is cleared, a filtered annotation is only displayed when its filter becomes effective.

Close the dialog to resume work in the bar chart.

You can also turn the display of annotations on and off instantly using a display switch.
