Default how to show long x-axis label in two lines?

Hi,

I am doing a column chart. All x-axis labels are quite long. Is there
any way to show them in two lines?
I tried to adjust orientation in the option(alignment), but the chart
will be too ugly.



Thanks

Kelly

Hi,

You can add a line feed to the text in the cell with ALT+ENTER.
This will cause line wrap in chart.

Cheers
Andy
