I enter text directly into the text box and had not noticed that, but I see
what you mean. Try this:

- Select the text box icon.

- Rightclick on text box and select Properties > Text > Multiple Lines, Word
Break, Horizontal Center.

- Click OK

- Drag the text box wider, about the size you think you'll want (you can
fine-tune it later).

- Type the text directly into the box; the lines will wrap to the width of
the box.

When you get that chart all spiffed up, consider posting a screenshot on the
VCF forum so we can maybe get some ideas for our own charts -
