Chart Label formatting/orientation in Excel (MS Office 2008)
Hello.
I'm doing a paper in Office 2008, and need some charts for better visualization.
I want to have some graphs showing the numbers of listeners of ten different radio stations by columns.
To provide good labeling I thought about the names of the radio stations under the chart, but horizontally it's quite a mess, vertically is hard to read.
So is it possible to orientate the labels diagonally, maybe sixty degrees or see instead of the pre formatted settings of 270 degrees?
I couldn't find definite answers via Excel help or even Google. ("excel chart labels orientation")
Any help is appreciated.

I found out how. If you enter enough data, Excel will automatically orientate the labels diagonally.
It had to be this data to find out:
05.00-06.00
06.00-07.00
07.00-08.00
08.00-09.00
09.00-10.00
10.00-11.00
11.00-12.00
12.00-13.00
13.00-14.00
14.00-15.00
15.00-16.00
16.00-17.00
17.00-18.00
18.00-19.00
19.00-20.00
20.00-21.00
21.00-22.00
22.00-23.00
23.00-24.00
