Default axis title text box is wrong size in chart for excel 2003

I created a chart in Excel 2003. I added an axis title call "Ports Market
Share". Excel has chosen to display only "Ports Market Sha". I can't find
any way to control the size of the text box as Excel has control. Modifing
the Font sizes does not fix the problem as the axis title text box just
resizes to fit "Ports Market Sha". Changing the text causes the same issue
as the last two letters are not displayed.

Unfortunately Excel does not allow a lot of control over the axis titles. I
would suggest deleting the chart generated title and use a text box from the
drawing toolbar in its place. Text boxes offer much more flexibility.

I have found this problem also and find it very annoying. Older versions
seem to be able to cope better .... this is like buying a new car and
finding that the lights don't work properly. Does anyone know if this
problem is going to be fixed?
regards
Andy
