Hi,

Right click the data labels and on the Alignment tab is a droplist
containing Label Positions. Try the Outside End position.

Cheers
Andy

graphs and I have to click on the amonts and move it up some so your able to
see the number and no, my boss will not let me use the background "opaque".

Thanks
