Default Auto-wrap titles on horizontal axis??

I have 27 identically sized charts that I created in Excel 2007. All
but 2 of them auto-wrapped the x-axis titles correctly. On the two
bad charts the titles overrun each other.

How the heck can I get these 2 misfits to conform?

I can't find the setting on the Format Axis options and the Wrap Text
button (under Home Alignment) is grayed out.

As far as I can see, there is no difference in any chart settings
between the good charts and the bad one.

Default Auto-wrap titles on horizontal axis??

Nevermind...I fixed it myself. Weird. It's just seems to be a sizing
issue. I may need to enlarge the rest of the charts or play around
with the chart area some more, but I think I am on the right track.
Changing to a smaller font works too, but of course that looks bad
when it's right next to another chart with larger axis labels.

Shrinking the font by 0.5 point size worked for me
