With the chart selected the ribbon changes with 'Chart Tools' highlighted it's in the 'labels' group.

So:

Chart Tools > Layout > Labels > Axis Titles >

Primary Horizontal Axis Title > Title Below Axis

or

Primary Vertical Axis Title > Vertical Title

Where the title axis options are in Excel

	Thanks. And for Excel 2008? – Eddy Pronk Sep 12 '11 at 7:15
	not sure, should be similar, it used to live in the properties dialog of the chart prior to the ribbon over-haul, don't have a mac handy with office 08 on it to check. – Nick Josevski Sep 12 '11 at 7:17
