Thread: screen resolution => vertical graph title problems

Hi,

I have faced a problem caused by screen resolution. I have compaq nx 7010, which has a screen 1280x800 pixels.
This resolution makes me problems with the vertical axes titles in excel graphs, it just cut off the last part of the title. If I change the screen resolution to 1024x768 the problem is fixed but this is not appropriate resolution that is why it is impossible to work with it.

I will be grateful if anyone has a solution for the mentioned problem.

This is a well-known problem, reported by many. Not sure it has to do with
video resolution.
Add a few periods to the end of the title and, if necessary, format them to
have the same colour as the background.
best wishes

Thanks for your solution, but I am seeking for a sophisticated one.

I still think this is a resolution problem. Why? ...because using the above mentioned resolution 1024x768 solves the problem, and I found out that you suggestion does work if I don't change the zoom for instance from 100% to 200%. The same problem again!


So thanks again, but if anyone has a better one, please!

The only improvement to Bernard's suggestion is to use non-breaking spaces
instead of periods for the added characters. Where the problem exists, it
seems you can only avoid it through changing of font, zoom setting, or video
resolution.
