Axis labels vertical / diagonal

Hello STL,

On charts in ppt or excel, is there any way that I can choose whether the names along the x axis are displayed vertically or diagonally? It seems to decide itself depending on how much space there is, but sometimes I want them vertical and a certain font size, which will default to diagonal display.

Thanks,

Julia

RE: Axis labels vertical / diagonal

Hi Julia

Thanks for getting in touch. There are a couple of ways to do this: either by right-clicking the axis and choosing Format Axis, then looking for the Alignment options. Alternatively look for the alignment options on the Home tab when the axis is selected.

Kind regards
