Axis Title

[Guest]

I have created a bar chart, and the Y Axis Title cuts off the last character.
How do I expand the title area or allow the last character to appear.

Thanks,

tjh

try double clicking the text box that the y-axis title sits in.

Then you may be able to make it bigger by clicking and holding one of the
corner 'handles'

I wasn't able to resize the text box for some strange reason. Try adding a
space and a fullstop to the axis title see if that works!!

Hi,

The text containers in charts, title/ axes titles/ data labels, can not be
resize like a normal textbox.
The excel work around is to add extra characters to the end of the text.

Jon Peltier has a page on the subject.

Thanks Andy. I didn't think a full stop (period) was a good solution but I
wouldn't have thought of a non breaking space!
