Sorry, I already submitted this topic to the Laptalk forum but the right place is certainly the Origin Forum, therefore a submitted it once more.
Is it possible to incorporate a line feed and a carriage return sequence within the Column Label field of the Worksheet Column Format window like "myColumn label \lf\cr (date: 20-7-04)" ?

Hi Carsten:
I'm not sure where you are going with this but you can store your example string in the column label. To return the column label, use:
%(columnNumber, @L);
For example, to return the column label for the first column of the active worksheet, enter:
%N = %(1, @L); %N =;

I think I just realized what you want. To display a multi-line column label, open the Worksheet Display Control dialog box (double-click in the upper-left corner of the worksheet) and increase the Column Heading Height.
Resave the template to preserve your change.

Hi Mike,
thank for the comments. But your suggestions did not solve my problem. The "multi-line" column label is via ObjectName "Legend" (see Label Control of Legend of a graph) linked to the column label name of the respective worksheet. Within the wks the column label appears "multi-lined" but not in legend of the graph.
Any further suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Carsten,
Something like this should work. Run it while the graph is active.
%W=%[%C,'_']; // get name of worksheet holding active dataset
%L=%W!wks.col$(colnum(%C)).label$; // get column label
label -s -sa -j 3 -n legend "\l(1) %L"; // recreate legend
I specified that the label be right-justified (-j 3) which may or may not be acceptable.

Thank you Mike. Your script works fine but not in case of Enhanced Legend (categorical data). For the time being I will modify the legends by hand.
