How to Fix Axis Labels in PowerPoint

Do you know how to moving the axis labels when a PowerPoint chart/graph has both positive and negative values? Well, by default PowerPoint will the horizontal axis labels near the axis. Typically, this is how it works. However, when there is a combination of positive and negative numbers, the bars get to interfere with the labels.

But don’t fret because you can do something to make this right. Here is what you do:

1. Select the chart.

2. Right-click the horizontal axis text and choose Format Axis.

3. In PowerPoint 2013: In the taskpane on the right, click the arrow next to Labels to expand that section.

4. In PowerPoint 2007, 2010 and 2013: Click the Label Position or Axis Labels drop-down list and choose High. (Another option that works in some situations is Low.)
