To change the alignment and orientation of your labels:
| 1. | Open the Chart Designer dialog box. |
| 2. | Expand the appropriate axis menu item. |
| 3. | Select the Axis Labels sub-menu item. |
| 4. | Click the Layout tab and make the changes you want. |
Horizontal Alignment. The following table describes the horizontal alignment options for label text.
Alignment |
Description |
|---|---|
Left |
Each label is aligned at the left edge of the division. |
Right |
Each label is aligned at the right edge of the division. |
Center |
Each label is centered horizontally within the division. |
Vertical Alignment. The following table describes the vertical alignment options for label text.
Alignment |
Description |
|---|---|
Top |
Each label is aligned at the top of the division. |
Bottom |
Each label is aligned at the bottom of the division. |
Center |
Each label is centered vertically within the division. |
Orientation. The following table describes the orientation options for label text.
Orientation |
Description |
|---|---|
Horizontal |
The text is displayed horizontally along the direction of the axis. |
Vertical |
The text is displayed, one letter stacked on top of each other, reading from top to bottom. |
Up |
The text is rotated so its right edge is next to the axis. |
Down |
The text is rotated so its left edge is next to the axis. |
|
When you rotate text up or down, the vertical and horizontal alignment are still relative to the text and not to the chart. In other words, text displayed with up orientation and right alignment is actually flush against the axis, not the left side of the division. |
