Format inspector

The Format inspector includes controls to change the appearance and other aspects of selected objects, including charts, tables, shapes, and text. The controls you see are context specific, meaning they apply only to the type of object you have selected. For example, if you select a chart, the Format inspector provides tools to modify the chart’s axes, data series, and more.

Open or close the Format inspector

The Format inspector has multiple panes that you can open to see more options.
