I cannot make axis labels wordwrap. Legends sometimes do and sometimes don't.

The legend entries will word wrap if the entire legend is not wide enough
for a particular entry (or if you have hard-coded a carriage return in the
cell containing the legend entry text, using Alt Enter).

You have no control over axis tick labels, other than hard-coding a carriage
return in the cell containing the tick label text, using Alt Enter.
Sometimes these wrap where Excel wants them to, but you can't control the
label size.

Items like data labels and axis and chart titles can be edited, and you
insert a carriage return where you want the text to wrap. Sometimes these
wrap where Excel wants them to, but you can't control the label or title
size.

I did this. I went into the cells and used Alt Enter to wrap my label text.
It still doesn't show on my chart. Help!!

Thank you.
