An ellipse annotation is simply an ellipse drawn between two points on a chart.

To draw an ellipse on a chart:

1. Select from the Drawing menu.
2. Click and hold the mouse button on one of the desired corners of the ellipse, drag the mouse with the button still depressed to the opposite corner, and release the mouse button.

To move an existing ellipse:

1. Select an ellipse on the chart by clicking on the upper, lower, right, or left most portion of the ellipse.
2. Once the ellipse is selected (highlighted with small squares):

• Click and drag, with the mouse button still depressed, a portion of the ellipse that does not have a selection box to move the entire ellipse.

• Click and drag, with the mouse button still depressed, a selection square on the ellipse to reposition only that point of the ellipse.

To delete an existing ellipse:

1. Select an ellipse on the chart by clicking on the upper, lower, right, or left most portion of the ellipse.
2. Once the ellipse is selected (highlighted with small squares), press the Delete key or select Delete from the Edit menu.

Troubleshooting:

• When moving or deleting an annotation, you must make sure the mouse cursor has changed to a hand before clicking on the annotation. If the cursor is still an arrow or a cross hair, the selection will not occur.

Note:

• To continue drawing ellipses on the chart without having to reselect the menu item each time, select Remain in Drawing Mode from the Drawing menu. Once you are done drawing ellipses, simply select another type of annotation or unselect Remain in Drawing Mode.
