The 'sizing handles' on the axis titles don't work!!
I'm working with a column chart in Excel - I'm trying to resize the title box
of the y-axis, but I can't. When I double-click, I see the thick line and the dark boxes of the sizing handles. However, when I try to use these, I get no double-headed arrow and can't resize the box. I can move it around, but that's all. I can't resize the chart title and x-axis titles either. Weirdly, I CAN resize the legend box. Anyone know how I can fix this? |

Nicole,
Unfortunately the only way that you can resize the title box is to change the font size. You still get the borders and handles on the chart title but they can't be dragged to change the size. An alternative is to delete the title box and add a text box in its place. The text box can be sized. ---- Regards, John Mansfield http://www.pdbook.com "Nicole" wrote: I'm working with a column chart in Excel - I'm trying to resize the title box of the y-axis, but I can't.
