How do you enlarge an excel chart text box larger?

In an wizard-generated pie chart, the text "turns around" at the end of the
word. I can't "pull out" corner or side because there are none. Help!

Unfortunately, Excel does not trust you to resize your own data labels, axis labels,
or axis and chart titles. You can remove the unsatisfactory text element, and make
your own with a true textbox. The easiest way to insert a textbox into a chart is to
select the chart, then type whatever you want. When you press Enter, the textbox
appears in the middle of the chart. Format it and move it to its proper location.
