Formatting Options Within Charts in MS Word?

[Fruzzle]

Hi folks,

I'm working on a document with charts throughout, and my editor has
made a request that I'm not sure I can comply with given MS Word's
capabilities.

Legends in charts; I have chart legends with 5-6 labels where some
labels occupy a single line and some are longer and hence occupy 2
lines. Word appears to automatically space chart legends so that the
legend keys (the little colored squares) are equidistant. This means
that there looks like there's a line space below the one-line entries.
Is there any way to shift the legend entries around so that this
illusion disappears?

Any and all suggestions welcome.

HI Fruzzle,

What version of Word? Office 2007 uses a different chart/graph approach as the default.
