Default Excel 2007 - VBA - set xaxis orientation

How can I set the xaxis to an arbitrary angle, say -70 deg using vba?

I recorded a macro to do this and it does not actually do anything??? Tried
it 3 times. I end up with the proper layout but the recorded macro does not
actually format the xaxis when run again?!

Hi,

Try,

With ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).TickLabels
.Alignment = xlCenter
.Offset = 100
.ReadingOrder = xlContext
.Orientation = -70
End With

Cheer

Ended up finding the answer

..Axes(xlCategory).TickLabels.Orientation = 70
