SYMPTOMS

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

Changing the font size for the chart labels will allow more labels to
appear. To change the font size, do the following:
 
1. Click on the chart to activate it.
 
2. On the Edit menu choose Works Chart Object then click Touch Up Chart
 
3. Click on the category labels.
 
4. On the Format menu, choose Font and Style.
 
5. 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.
 
6. Click OK.
 
You should see more labels appear however, not necessarily all the labels
will appear.
