You can choose from 36 pre-designed, Microsoft Word inspired, chart types using the *Chart* drop-down button. We also changed the default style including fonts and colors to match the chart type styles of Microsoft Word. ![Animation charts tab](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2017/07/20/a/assets/animation_charts.webp "Animation charts tab") In the *Frame Formatting* tab, you can define the chart type, 3D and object settings. In the *Chart Formatting* contextual tab, you can define titles, legend settings and gridline settings such as color, width and dash types.

This feature will be also available in the ASP.NET version of TX Text Control. The following screenshot shows a chart object inserted into the header that has been positioned behind the main text: ![Background charts](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2017/07/20/a/assets/background_charts.webp "Background charts") Stay tuned for more features! --- ## About Bjoern Meyer As CEO, Bjoern is the visionary behind our strategic direction and business development, bridging the gap between our customers and engineering teams.
