SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, when you create a chart and add either a chart title or an axis title that contains multiple lines of text, only one line will appear.



CAUSE
This problem may occur when you rotate the text in the titles on a chart.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not rotate the chart titles when they contain multiple lines. To change the format of the title so it is not rotated, follow these steps:


 * 1) Select the title.
 * 2) On the Format menu, click Selected Chart Title or Selected Axis Title, depending on the type of title selected.
 * 3) Click the Alignment tab.
 * 4) Under Orientation, set Degrees to 0.
 * 5) Click OK.

The title will no longer be rotated, but you will be able to view multiple lines of text.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel 97.
