Using X Axis Labels
The Label orientation options on the Chart Options dialog box
specify the position of the chart's X axis labels. The X axis label positioning
can be used to fit labels that cannot be viewed in a very large or complex chart.
X axis labels can be positioned in different ways:
- Normal - Positions the labels in the standard horizontal, side-by-side
placement.
- 90 degrees - Positions the labels in a vertical, side-by-side placement.
- Staggered - Positions the labels in a horizontally staggered placement.
- Auto-skip - Displays every other labels in the standard horizontal
placement.
- Custom angle - Positions the labels in the specified angel. The value
should be between 0 and 360. The rotation is counter-clockwise.

To select an X Axis label position:
- Select Chart Options... from the chart's
right-click menu, or select Chart > Options...
from the menu bar.
The Chart Options dialog appears.
- Under the Label orientation section, select the Normal, 90
degrees, Staggered, Auto-skip, or Custom angle radio
button.
- If Custom angel is selected, select from the drop down list
or enter a value between 0 and 360. The rotation goes counter-clockwise.
- Click OK to close the dialog box and implement the changes, or click
Apply to implement the changes but keep the dialog box open.
The application updates immediately to reflect the changes.
