Line graph - line width

How do I set the line width (weight) of lines with a line chart. Lines
always seem several pixels wide.
Also, when selecting "Numeric or time-scale values" on the X-axis of a line
chart the labels appear vertically in the Chart Properties dialog box but
appear horizontally when the report is generated. I have RS sp1 installed.
How do I fix this problem?Answer to your first problem:
Layout view: right-click the chart, select properties, go to the data tab,
press the edit button for the desired value, go to the appearance tab and
there you can set the width of a line.
They've put it away quite well :)

sharp lines. Less than 0.75 and the line doesn't appear.

integer values for line width. This will change in RS 2005. For pixel-based
output format (like TIFF) you won't notice to much difference, but in vector
graphics formats (like EMF) you will see differences especially when zooming
or at high resolutions (e.g. printing).
