set text direction for multi-level category labels

Hi,

I am using excel 2007 and have to build a bar chart comparing values in two
years (years is first category) for a list of statements (statements are the
second category - for each statement, there are 2 values, one for each year).

No problem building the chart, but category labels are not as I wish...
years appears horizontally - this is ok - but statements are 270 degrees
rotated, and no command found to put them horizontally, too.

Please let me know if there is a chance to resolve it! Thanks!

does anyone have an answer to this, I'm having a problem getting text to run horizontal...
