Re: strange text cutting symbol "-[]"?



You have to do it in Excel. Hit Alt+Enter to create the line break. (You
might be able to do just that in an Excel cell and then copy it and paste it
into your PPT graph data sheet.) The break shows up as the symbol you
described. (You did a good job, and it didn't even take you 1000 words!)

You used to be able to do this in PPT's MS Graph interface -- back in PPT
95! I've missed this feature for 10 years. <sigh>

In PPT2003 MSGraph sometimes - in clients' presentations - a symbol
occurs
which makes the legend text perfectly cut to the next line.

(Sending an attached jpg picture is apparently not possible, so I will try
to describe)

If you open the Data sheet of a Graph then the text - on the point that it
is cut to the next line - is broken by a symbol like a dash "-" with a
small hollow square (almost like 2 block hooks together like this "[]" but
closed) so completely the text is broken by "-[]" only the square is
closed and a bit smaller and seems to run a bit through the first next
letter.

Anyone recognizing this?

How do you create a symbol like that??? It seems very problematic to make
MSGraph cut text lines the way you want it without this symbol, but
how!!??

Thanx
