hello

say if i draw a horizontal line and i want to label that line something, when i use the "type text" function and move that text on top on that line, when i zoom in and out that charts, the text moves all over the place, not where i positioned it

is there a better way to write text on a horizontal line and have it positioned correctly?

You have us a bit confused, as the Type Text should put text relative to the line and stay in that position as you move around.

But, another option for some of the drawing tools, such as Horizontal Line, is to right click on the line and select Modify Text, which will allow you to enter text that is attached to the drawing. The controls for the text are then on the Chart Drawing Properties window. Refer to the following:
