Default Move the Y axis below negative values

Hi,

I am currently creating a line graph which has both negative and positive
values. However the line cuts through the descriptions on the y axis, how
can I move the y axis to the bottom of the graph below the negative values so
people can still read these descriptions?

To keep the axis in place but move the labels to the bottom of the chart,
double click on the axis, select the Patterns tab, and select the "Low"
option for axis tick labels.

To move the entire axis to the bottom, double click on the other axis, and
on the scale tab, change the Axis Crosses At value. Don't simply use the
minimum of this axis, because it won't work when the values change. Instead
choose the lowest number that you can think of, like -1e300 for a linear
scale, or 1e-300 for a log scale; this number will always be less than the
axis minimum.
