Charts, axis label padding/margin

How do I add some space between the labels and the axis on a chart? The positioning (cross other axis, labels inside/outside…) is of no use.

Hi Anon,

Have you found an answer to your question?

2 less than elegant hacks:
Double click on the chart to enter edit mode.
Double click on the axis you wish to edit.
X-Axis

  1. Go to Font Effects tab.
  2. Add an overline.
  3. Change colour of overline to match the wall of your chart.
    Y-Axis
  4. Go to Numbers tab.
  5. Uncheck ‘Source Format’
  6. Change format to add spaces before or after the label.
