how to align data label position in 3D bar charts?

[KellyW]

I am creating 3D bar charts in a Word 2003 document using MS Graph. The data
labels are appearing right on top of the end of the bar, so they are
difficult to read. I can't figure out how to move them globally to outside
the end of the bar (I do NOT want to move them one-by-one as there are a lot
of them and I have to adjust bar sizes). In the pie charts I'm creating,
there is an option under "Format Data Labels/Alignment" to move Label
Position to "Outside End" -- but on the bar charts, when I click to "Format
Data Labels/Alignment," the drop-down box for Label Position does not even
appear. Any help? Thanks in advance --

I am using just a regular bar graph, but when my bar goes off the chart, I
lose the label as well. Can anyone please help us solve this problem? When
I create these graphs in an older version of excel this problem does not
occur.

If what we want to do (adjust 3D labels) cannot be done will someone
please let us know (and put me out of my misery LOL) ?

Thanks
