Default category label spacing (x-axis generally)


Have a column chart in which the same label applies to two adjacent
columns. Rather than have it redundantly redisplay the labels I
adjusted the tick mark spacing to 2 so it only displays every other
label.

The problem is how to shift the alignment of the category labels along
the x-axis to the label appears somewhat centered under the two columns
to which it applies?

Normally I might trick something like this by adjust the the
relationship of the displayed font to its baseline (similar to
subscript or superscript functions). While I find the ability to choose
subscript or superscript functions there is no ability I've found so far
to adjust the extent of offset they accomplish and at the presets, they
don't move the type very far, they just make it smaller.

Any ideas or workarounds appreciated.

Brian
