Default Axis labeling

We have created a chart showing daily load for a given month. The bottom
axis shows the days in the month (1-31). When we open the chart on one
computer, all 31 labels show, which is what we want. When we open the file
on another computer, only every 5 labels show, beginning with day 3. All the
data is there, just the labels are missing. Is this an Excel problem or
maybe a setting on the computer? We have the same size computer screens...

Default Axis labeling

What kind of chart? Line or column chart: format the axis, and on the
Scale tab (main tab in 2007), enter 1 for Number of Categories Between
Tick mark Labels (even if it says 1, delete this and enter 1).

XY chart: format the axis scale, set the major unit to 1, and in 2003
uncheck the Automatic box, or in 2007 select the Fixed option.
