Default Vert. axis label is being trimmed by two letters no matter size

The vertical axis title is being trimmed by two letters in all of my charts
(all microsoft office porducts). This trimming isn't dependent on the amount
of text in the axis title. Any suggestions?

This is a common complaint on this newsgroup (but I have never seen it).
Workaround: add two characters to the end of the title.
If necessary: Double click the title to format it, select the 2 extra
character and give them a font colour to match the chart area (thereby
making them invisible)
Does this work for you?

This is an intermittent problem, and seems to depend on a combination of
screen resolution (wide aspect ratio monitors being more susceptible), zoom
factor, font and font size, and perhaps other undefinables. I've only had
the problem on my computer once, with a strangely formatted workbook from a
client. Some people get it frequently. It has occurred since at least Excel
5, but was relatively rare before the wide screens came out.

There seems to be no fix for the problem. A lame workaround is to type a
couple spaces at the end of the title followed by a period (the spaces alone
will not stretch the pseudo textbox). To hide the period from a user who is
not having this problem, select the last character of the title (the period)
and color the text to match the background.
