Default Resizing chart labels

Hi,

Although the text items in a chart appear to have sizing handles, when
selected, you can not change the width or height of text elements.

If you must have full control over textual elements you will need to add
textboxes to the chart. The major draw back with this approach is the
position of the textboxes will not change when the under lying data does.

Cheers
Andy

Hi I was just wondering if there was a way to resize the labels on charts in
Excel 2007? I can click onto the label, but it doesn't allow me to change the
size. The only way i can fit words onto a single line is by selecting a
smaller font. Is there another way?
