  Hi, if I have 2 lines text (AXIS CATEGORY) and I want to change the orientation only for the second text (from the bottom), it's possible? I followed all the steps, but only the first field changed.

  • I dont know if you found a solution, but I have the same problem now, and would very much apreciate if someone could tell me how to do it.

  How about a 'Rotate axis labels in chart of Excel 2016'? If they haven't removed that capability, they've sure hidden it well.

  • Right click x-axis --> format axis --> text options --> click the third image tab --> text box --> keep as horizontal and under custom angle, enter -45. Took too long to figure that out, but it worked!

    • Thank you! This worked for me!

      Thank you!!! I've been trying to rotate some titles that way for a LONG time in Office 365. Why the h wouldn't they at least keep good functionality from earlier versions? Drives me batty the way the programs seem to keep getting less usable.

      Thank you, it wouldn't allow me to enter 135 degrees so I was wondering about it!

    I found it. select the axis you want. I should form a box around the labels, and then right click. Select format axis. A menu on the right hand side will appear.
    Now is the question of how to turn the labels to an angle other than 0-90-180-270.

    • Cant find it. Hate Microsoft and its constant tinkering with something that used to work well. Dislike the ribbon bar with a passion. Takes more mouse clicks to do the same thing vs the drop down menus of 2003

      Custom Angle, right beneath Text Direction :)

      I didn't find it. I'm almost about to give up. Word 2016 sucks.
