how can I unwrap text in a data label. Thanks > how can I unwrap text in a data label. Thanks Could you clarify what you're asking?  SignatureEcho [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ Sure - on a pie chart created in PPT, I want data labels to show outside the pie (category labels); the text is not particularly long but it 'wraps' to the next line, so without reducing font size, I would like the text all on one line i.e Global World Market: 10%. Thanks > > how can I unwrap text in a data label. Thanks > > Could you clarify what you're asking? Shevvie, I believe that you can force powerpoint to not wrap your text by entering something called a 'no break space' To enter this special character type in your first word Global Then hold down the ALT key on your keyboard, then using the 'number pad keys' press 0160 Then let go of the ALT key You should see a space appear Then enter World and repeat the Alt 0160 between each word That should do the trick cheers TAJ Simmons microsoft powerpoint mvp awesome - powerpoint backgrounds, http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com free powerpoint templates, tutorials, hints, tips and more... > Sure - on a pie chart created in PPT, I want data labels to show outside > the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> >> Could you clarify what you're asking?

This is one of those things that drives me nuts, and I've always just used manual textboxes as a workaround -- but now I can't wait to try a nonbreaking space. Duh! <slapping forehead> Why didn't I think of that a gazillion years ago?! :-) SignatureEcho [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ > Shevvie, > [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] >>> >>> Could you clarify what you're asking? > That's really slick, TAJ.
