I can't seem to resize these. They have a box around them, with the
normal resizing squares/blocks at the corners and middle of the edges,
but the mouse doesn't change to a double pointing arrow when hovering
over, nor does dragging (to resize) work. Is this known, and is it
fixed in later versions? Or, is there any way around the problem, I
would really like to resize these labels, coz at the moment the last
digit is being wrapped to the next line.

Cheers

mcalex,
Echo or I must have misunderstood your question. I can resize the data
series labels as values, names or whatever the third option is by
selecting either the entire data servies or double clicking an
individual datapoint and using Format Font which gives me font style,
size, and color options.

Echo, What'd I miss here? Even works in Grump. I even opened Grump,
first time in a long time. (g)

I assumed that mcalex wanted to be able to drag the edge of the data label
box to change the size of the box. Although you can indeed change the font
size, you've really no control over those data label boxes themselves. I
often would like to increase their width, for example, so the last digit
doesn't wrap to the next line. The only way I know to do that on a graph is
to insert a manual textbox, though.
