Now you really should not change the text formatting within your chart unless you have a compelling reason to do so.

The Chart Area is essentially populated with various chart elements. In other words, the entire chart is contained within the Chart area. When you insert a chart, the position of the Chart Area on the slide depends upon the layout of the slide. If your slide layout is Blank, then the Chart Area is located at the center of the slide.

When you create charts within PowerPoint, typically the Chart Area doesn’t show any fill or any kind of formatting. The exception to this rule is if you have applied a particular Chart Style. Thus, in most scenarios, the Chart Area is completely transparent with no fill or outline attributes. This default status works well most of the time since the Chart Area is just the area above which all chart elements are placed.
