SUMMARY
Works does not allow you to add horizontal Y axis titles to spreadsheet charts. However, Works does allow for the addition of a vertical Y axis title. These type of titles would look something like the example below:  Vertical            Horizontal -- P                   PROFIT R O F I T This functionality is by design. If a horizontal Y axis chart title is necessary, use the workaround listed below.



MORE INFORMATION
Convert the chart into a graphic in Microsoft Draw, and add the horizontal Y axis title there. You can save or print this graphic in a Works Word Processor document as follows:

 Move the chart to Draw:  Create the chart without a Y axis title. While viewing the chart, click Copy from the Edit menu. Create a new Works Word Processor document. From the Insert menu, click Drawing. Microsoft Draw will appear. From the Edit menu, click Paste. The chart should appear in Draw.</li></ol> </li> Add the horizontal Y axis title: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> Select the Text tool button in Draw (it has the letter A on it).</li> Click the area on the chart where you would like the first letter of the horizontal Y axis title to go.</li> Type the Title you need, and press ENTER.</li></ol> </li> Place the modified chart in a Works Word Processor document. To do so, from the File menu, click Exit and return to, where is the name of the Word Processor document created above.</li></ol>

Now you can save or print the Word Processor document with the modified chart.
