Default Category axis title length

Hi,

I made a chart but one title is apparently too long because it shows only
partially. Title is "different cultures" only word "different" shows. If I
put words together title shows "differentculture". What can I do that the
whole title would show correctly?

Any ideas?

Unfortunately, Excel doesn't trust you to resize your own axis titles and axis
labels. You can get around this by using a textbox. The easiest way to put a textbox
into a chart is to select the chart and type what you want the label to say. When
you press Enter, the textbox will appear in the middle of the chart. Format it and
move it where it belongs.
