Is there a way for PowerPoint to wrap text on an axis without having to
create a text box (and deleting the axis label)? In other words, I would like
to have long category titles that wrap instead of a long string.

Thanks

Not that I'm aware.

Hi,

In MSGraph's data grid you can not type CR/LF. But if you use excel to enter
your text in a cell, using ALT+RETURN to add LF where you want the text to
break.
You can then copy+paste the text in to the graphs data sheet.

Cheers
Andy

Oh, duh -- I wasn't thinking about Excel. Thanks, Andy.
