Text is missing along the vertical axis of the chart (Y label).

When I see the label of the y axis is correct but in the chart it is "cut".
If I resize the chart or the font it does not change. What should I do? PS: I
am working with offie 2003. Thanks

Are you doing something like this?

I have the same problem, but only since I puchased a new pc. And no Barb, the
discussion on the web address is not at all relevant to this problem. The
problem is the y axis title text box length is too short when the text is
entered in the y axis title box in the chart options dialog box. But I find
it is ok if a non true type font is used eg courier, fixedsys etc.

I also find the same problem when text is entered in a cell with 90
orientation and the row height is set automatically. Again the problem
appears only with True Type fonts.

This is a real pain for me as I generate most of my charts automatically. Of
course a work around is to add several blanks and a full stop on the end of
the label. But since I develop charts for other people, I do not want to do
this.

I have tried uninstalling office 2003 and reinstalling. No change. I have
also been on several other pcs and do not find this problem. I have an LG
LW70Express which has a 15"x16" screen. The problem appears at all screen
resolutions.

I have an LG LW65 notebook (widescreen - 1280x800, ATI X700) with the truncated Y axis label problem.
I managed to find a temporary fixing procedure that works for an entire Excel session:

1. close excel
2. change screen resolution to a 4:3 aspect ratio (800x600 or 1024x768)
3. open excel (now the y axis label should display correctly)
4. change screen resolution back to the original value (default)

You shouldn't have any problem while on that excel session. If you close excel, the problem seems to return when you reopen it. You'll have to repeat the procedure.
It's not perfect, but it worked for me.

Good luck!
