Oh, I can change the font size just fine. It's the bounding box that I
can't change. It cuts off the end of the label, regardless of the size.

Of course, it doesn't cut it off when you print. Or copy the chart as an
image. Which, thankfully, was exactly what I wanted to do. Of course,
I'd worked around it by setting the label to "Foo     x      x", so it
had some extra trailers.. but now I know the workaround.

That does mean it's impossible to tell what the label is when editing
the document, though.

Hey Microsoft, remember that WYSIWIG thing? How about you either stick
with it, or go with something sanely describable?
