not.

listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a new Standard EXE project with a default form. Form1 is created by
  default.

2. On the Project menu, click to select Components, choose Microsoft Chart
  Control in the Components dialog box, and click OK.

3. Add an instance of the Chart Control to Form1. Enlarge the Chart Control so
  that its contents are easily visible, and then resize the form as needed.

4. Add the following code to the Code window of Form1:

  Private Sub Form_Load()
       MSChart1.RowCount = 5
       MSChart1.ColumnCount = 1

       With MSChart1.Plot.Axis(VtChAxisIdX).Labels(1)
           .Auto = False
           .TextLayout.Orientation = VtOrientationHorizontal
           .TextLayout.HorzAlignment = VtHorizontalAlignmentFill
           .TextLayout.WordWrap = True
       End With
       
       Dim i As Long
       For i = 1 To MSChart1.RowCount
          MSChart1.Row = i
          MSChart1.RowLabel = "This is column number " & i
       Next
  End Sub

5. Press the F5 key to run the application and note that the labels are not
  wrapped. Instead, they are overlapped.
