  • Article
Word Developer Reference

Represents a unit label on an axis in the specified chart.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Word 2007

Remarks

Unit labels are useful for charting large values (for example, in the millions or billions). You can make the chart more readable by using a single unit label instead of large numbers at each tick mark.

Example

Use the DisplayUnitLabel property to return the DisplayUnitLabel object. The following example sets the display label caption to "Millions" on the value axis of the first chart in the active document, and then the example turns off automatic font scaling.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  With ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1)
    If .HasChart Then
        With .Chart.Axes(xlValue)
            .DisplayUnit = xlMillions
            .HasDisplayUnitLabel = True
            With .DisplayUnitLabel
                .Caption = "Millions"
                .AutoScaleFont = False
            End With
        End With
    End If
End With
