Bar Chart in Excel 2010 - x axistrying to wrap text?

[coolhanded]

I have a bar chart and a lot of the series being pulled into the chart have long names. I can't seem to find a way to have the names wrap text if they are long? any ideas?

I am sending out the chart to many different people and they will be using a data validation set to pick and choose the items in the chart. For this reason I can't merely increase the size of the chart or reduce the font.

May be take a look at Format Axis > Alignment and switch the text direction?
