    Question Extend chart title

    I have a chart and its title has occupies most of the space above the plot area.
    Now I copy that chart and change the title of the copied chart by adding "[Alt]" to it.
    Because of adding those characters the title now will be written on 2 'lines' above the plot area.
    Instead I want those extra characters appended to the existing ones on 1 line and position the title such that it starts more to the left of the chart (above the Y-axis)

    How can I achieve this?

    Re: Extend chart title

    Well, if you can, make the box for the chart title wider, so the text fits, or, choose a smaller font size, or, make the whole chart wider.

    If the text is too wide to display on one line, well, then .... ehrmm... it's too wide to fit on one line. So you either have to increase the available space, or shrink the text.

    You may want to play with a text box and drop the chart title altogether. Manually enter the required text in the text box, size it and push it around for best position. Text boxes have more formatting potential than Chart elements.

    Doei,
