x axis cut off on an Excel 2002 scatter chart
 

Good Morning...

When creating an XY Scatter chart, my x axis title gets cut off so not all
of the text is being displayed.

I found a Microsoft workaround that said to change the alignment to be 89%.
This gets an extra letter or two added in but not all of the text.

I am using OfficeXP with SP3 installed.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks for the help,
Geenie

XL doesn't always reflect font sizes correctly - what does it look like in
print?

It prints fine - all of the text is there.

The problem is when I copy the chart into Word and use it in reports.
Because all of the text isn't being displayed on the chart in Excel, when I
copy and paste into Word the text is also missing. I can't resize the text
box for the axis name either.

Try copying in Excel as a picture. Hold Shift while selecting the Edit
menu, and Copy becomes Copy Picture. Select the As Printed option (since
printing works), then just paste into Word.
