Axis label question
Hi all,
Using Excel 2003, often the last few characters of the value (Y) axis label are not displayed when creating a data chart. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I've sometimes been able to force it to display the last characters by adding a couple spaces at the end of the axis title, but this is not an ideal solution and doesn't always work. Any and all suggestions are welcomed. Thank you! Vrin |

This is a known bug and your solution seems the prefered workaround. If your
file goes to other, you may wish to format the added characters to make them invisible since the bug occurs only on some PCs best wishes Bernard Liengme http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme/ "Vrin" .(donotspam) wrote in message ...

Vrin -
Instead of adding only spaces, you may need to include a printable character, like a period, after the spaces. But, to see the variety of solutions to this problem, browse to www.google.com or to groups.google.com and search for "excel truncated y axis label" (without the quotes). - Mike http://www.mikemiddleton.com "Vrin" .(donotspam) wrote in message ...

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the reply. I've added a period before, not always with success, mostly because I didn't think to change the font color to white. I appreciate your suggestion to search on Google - I found some more info there. Guess I'll just have to wait until the company updates to 2007 - I won't hold my breath given we just last month updated to 2003.

Hi Bernard - Thanks for your reply. Guess I'll have to wait until my company
updates to 2007, but until then I'll continue with my workaround. Bummer. Thanks, Vrin "Bernard Liengme" wrote: This is a known bug and your solution seems the prefered workaround.
