Default Changing Y-Axis Labels from Numerical to Textual

I've searched the forums and this thread was the closest thing I could
find to my question/answer:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...e9d9fcfbbfa9aa

Essentially, I have a set of data that assigns numerical values to
satisfaction levels (i.e. "Very Satisfied" = 5, "Very dissatisfied" =
0). I want to make a bar chart that displays categories on the x-axis
while also showing satisfaction levels on the y-axis. Right now, the
y-axis shows only the numerical values instead of the text "Very
Satisfied" to "Very Dissatisfied." How can I edit the labels to show
this? Please advise... am much obliged!
