Origin Ver. : OriginPro 2016 (64-bit)
Operating System: Win 10 (64-bit)

Is it possible to adjust how close the axis title/label is to the axis?

I did find an option that seems to control it under Tools -> Options. But there's a few problems:
1.) Am I correct that it would affect all graphs created in any Origin file, instead of applying only to the currently selected graph?
2.) When I changed the value and hit okay, nothing changed about the current graphs. It looks like it will only have an effect in any future graphs that I create. I want to adjust plots that I've already made.
3.) Ideally I would like to adjust the spacing on each axis separately, not necessarily have it apply to all axes.

Is there another way?

Hi,

1# Yes, the new settings of Tool: Options dialog affects all the graphs that you create after applying settings

2# Right-click on the axis title and select Properties… to open dialog, go to Position tab and set the offset directly.

Hmm, I don't see any position tab. This is what I see when I right click on axis title and select properties:

I don't see a Position tab either. However, I would move the axis title in a particular graph by selecting it (single left click) and then nudging it with the arrow keys. William.

Hi,

We improved Properties dialog two years ago, so please upgrade Origin to the latest version Origin 2019 and you could see the Position tab:
