Fixing Chart Label Cut-Offs

If your label has been cut off your graph you can increase the margin to fix the issue. This issue can occur when you have a longer label on a spider or Polar chart.

How to fix:

1. In your word document template, click your cursor within the curly brackets of the merge string you want to edit. This will bring up your merge string parameters in the merge manager. If this didn't happen, you can refresh the merge manager by clicking on the brilliant assessment logo in the word menu at the top of the page.

2. From Options, select either left, right, top, or bottom margin.

3. Type the pixels you want to extend it by in the margin field. We recommend starting with 50 and adjusting if needed.

4. Switch back to the document tab of the merge manager and press 'Upload to Brilliant Assessments'

5. Run your report again to review the changes to your document.

Alternative fix for a Spider chart:

Spider charts are often wider than they are higher because of the labels on either side of the graph. If you set your graph to be wider than it is tall, you can usually fix the issue. e.g. height 300, width 400.
