I have a horizontal bar chart with labels on each bar. They are positioned
in the centre of the bar. The labels are quite long e.g. 'Marks for the
analysis stage of the project', but would easily fit inside a bar. The
trouble is, Excel insists on wrapping the text into a smaller rectangle so
some labels are on two or even three lines and overlap the top and bottom of
the bar.

Can I change the width of the data label box so that the text will fit on
one line?
