Default Legend 2 Columns

Shorter labels are better anyway, easier to read and absorb.

Thanks Jon,

My labels are so long that they weren't allowing the legend to display
more
than one column, unless I expand it over the chart area. There doesn't
appear
to be a wrap text feature for individual legend cells. I'll have to
shorten
the labels.

My legends have a lot of x-y scatter chart data points and are long and
hard
to read. Is there a way to make them into two columns instead of one?
Thanks,
