You could select the set of labels, press CTRL+1 (numeral one) to open the
Format Data Labels dialog, and on the Alignment tab, choose the Above or
Below position option, instead of the default Left.

When using line charts with percentages at various intervals, the
resulting
chart usually has the percentages displayed over the trendline and I end
up
having to click each percentage and move them so they can be more easily
seen
on the chart.

Is there a way to automate this either at the time I run the chart or once
created?
Thanks.
