Pie chart slices too thin

For a pie chart that we habitually use, I sometimes get data like 96%/1%/1%/1%.
In this case the text labels of the thin slices display over themselves. It's
relatively easy for me to check to see if I have more than one thin slice, but I
haven't found a way to move the labels so I can stop them from overprinting.

Is it possible to programmatically reposition the labels on a pie chart?

Using Excel XP, Windows XP.

Have you considered an Exploded Pie Chart, this might give you the room for
the labels.

It's already exploded. They still print on top of each other if two or more
slices are too thin.
