How do you insert a manual line break in an axis name or label?

Enter the first line in the Chart Options dialog. Then on the chart itself,
click within the label, curse to the end, press Enter or Shift + Enter and
type in the second line. This works for the axes labels and the chart
title, as well as the Data Series labels. (PowerPoint 2000 & 2002)

Thank you TAJ Simmons. I am creating a bar chart and entering the label for
each bar into the first row of the datasheet. I don't see a way of accessing
this in the Chart Options dialog or a way to click within the label. Maybe I
am using the wrong term - but I do not mean the title for the axis, but
rather the name of each bar). Extra
