SYMPTOMS
If you select too many columns of numbers for a bar chart, only every other chart label or every third will show.
RESOLUTION

- Click on the chart to activate it.
- On the Edit menu choose Works Chart Object then click Touch Up Chart
- Click on the category labels.
- On the Format menu, choose Font and Style.
- In the Size box, decrease the size of the font. You may either choose a number from the pull down list or type in a number. The smallest number you can enter is 4.
- Click OK.
You should see more labels appear however, not necessarily all the labels will appear.
MORE INFORMATION

- Click anywhere on your chart to create a text object.
