this is a small but extremely annoying problem.
in Excel (2003) charts y-axis titles get clipped by a seemingly pseudo-random amount.
in the image above, there should be for the y-axis title:
012345678901234567890
whats worse is that I can't seem to grab and resize the text box that contains the y-axis title. Resizing the font (with auto-scale turned off) helps somewhat, but only if I select 8pt font - which is utterly useless in a .ppt presentation.
If I open the same file in native Windows Excel, I have no problems.
anyone else notice this? or even better have a solution?
adding chars to the end of the titles doesn't work because inevitably the files are sent to and viewed on native Windows machines, where extra chars would be apparent, confusing, and unprofessional.
