The Y axis title box always cuts off the last letter no matter what type or
size of font. It doesn't matter how many letters either 5 or 15, the last one
is aways missing.

A known bug (only some users experience it).
Workaround: add some dots (.....) to end of the title and format them with
font of the same colour as the title background.

Many thanks, Bernard. Your're a star.

Bernard, if it is a 'known' bug, why isn't there a better way to fix it?

I have tried the technique you passed onto Maggie, however I use excel quite
a bit (this forum is the only place I have found any information regarding my
troubles with the y axis labels) and it is so time consuming screwing around
with the fonts.

How else can this be fixed? Will a re-install help?

Hi,

Here is an MSKB article on the subject.

You could try adding a non breaking space to the end of the text. Use
ALT+0160 (from the numeric key pad).

Cheers
Andy

Andy,

Many thanks for your speedy response and the handy URL.

You have brought much clarity to the issue.

Cheers mate

Although, just tried to change the screen ratios (as mentioned in the MSKB
article) and that didn't fix it.

How common is this problem and secondly, is there any chance of some sort of
patch/update will be made available by microsoft in order to rectify it?

The workaround method aforementioned by Bernard, whilst it works, is way too
time consuming.
