Have you thought of making your own chart table.
Copy the data to cells under the chart using Past Special Transform if
needed
Make borders around the cells; adjust size to match chart
Print
A lot of work maybe but a possible solution if alignment is so important
best wishes

Is there a way to overcome Excel's inability to decimal-align or
right-align numbers in the cells of a data table that is displayed as a
chart option? Alignment is easy in spreadsheets but in data tables within
charts, it seems to be impossible.
