Formatting chart legends in PowerPoint sfox 06.09.2006 02:51:02 How can I make the text wrap in a chart legend in PowerPoint? Some of the legend labels in the chart I am working on are long and they cut off at the margin instead of 'wrapping' the text to another line. Any ideas?

Just to be sure we are on the same page, did you enter the text of the legend in the data sheet of the graph for Powerpoint? Also, which version are you using? My reason for asking is that PPT2003 allows for the text to preform as a wrap around label. If other generations are not permitting then selecting the legend, resizing it, or reducing the fonts may be the answer.
