Moving X-Y chart data labels
Hi.
How do I move X-Y chart data labels. I add a chart, right click a data
point, insert data labels. With many points close together the labels
are on top of each other. How do I move the labels a little bit this way
or that so they are readable.

You cannot drag the label, but use one of the predefined positions.
Click on the data series and then on the single data point. Only one
data point should be selected. Then choose "Format Single Data Label..."
from the context menu. There is a drop-down-list 'Placement'.
Kind regards
Regina
