Default Excel 07 - Stacked Chart Labels on Negative Values

I have a stacked chart with one series showing positive values, and two other
series showing negative values. When I add data labels, they only appear on
the positive value series. Even when I click on the negative series, I get
the menu to format the data labels, but in no way, shape, or form are they
actually visible on my chart.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
