When a category name wraps on to 2 lines, Excel centers the second line under
the first.  I'd like to figure out a way to right justify the second line.  
I'd also like to figure out a way to set that as a default.

Hi,

You do not have much control over the axis labels and their appearance.
If you want full control you will need to use textboxes.
This page has code to help with construction and alignment.
