How can I change the alignment of ALL the numbers in a PowerPoint chart,
i.e., the numbers (values) that are above the columns? I know how to change
one individually, but how do you change the alignment (for example, from 0
degrees to 45 degrees) of all the values in just one or two steps?
 
The values are called data labels. Click the chart area so that they're not
selected. Then click one data label *once* so that you see black squares
around *all* the data labels in a data series. Now right-click and choose
Format Data Labels. If the right-click is difficult and makes you select
just the one individual data label, then choose Format on the menu at the
top of the screen and from there, choose Selected Data Labels.

Then head to the alignment tab and type in 45.
