I am having trouble getting some y-axis titles to display correctly. If I
have either a Greek letter (symbol font) or a superscript number as part of
the axis title, an unwanted space appears immediately before this character.
This is not an actual space character like that created with the space bar,
because when I click on the axis title to edit it (so that it temporarily
appears horizontally), the space disappears so that I can't delete it. The
unwanted space comes back as soon as the axis title goes back to its normal
rotated position when I finish editing it.

The axis title looks the same both on the screen and when printed, so I
doubt it is due to screen resolution settings mentioned in some posts
referring to other axis title problems.

I'm using Excel 2003.

Thanks for any suggestions.
