Default wrap text in a chart data table

Hi,

Im have created a graph, which ive had no problem, but i when i click the
option to "show data table" i cannot get the titles to wrap to the box, i
have searched but i cannot find an option to wrap the text as i need it for a
presentation.
I do not want to just simply alter the font size if possible. Is there
anyway of doing this?

Default wrap text in a chart data table

Data tables in charts are not flexible, either regarding their contents or
their formatting. You could create a table in the cells near the chart,
include what you want in it, and format it however you like.

Default wrap text in a chart data table

But why was that functionality available in Excel 2003?!! The chart data
table text used to wrap nicely. Given all the many other stability issues, I
think I'll switch back to Office 2003!

It's accidental that the functionality was there in 2003. Data Tables have
always been disappointing, and so I have never used them. There are more
important reasons than Data Tables to switch back to 2003.
