Label Position in Bar Charts (Powerpoint 2008)

Thank you for reporting this information. In PowerPoint 2007 it appears you
can set the Label Position to: Center, Inside End, Inside Base, or Outside
End for Data Labels. Unfortunately there appears to only be the drag/drop
option in Office 2008 (like in Office 2004). This is currently under
investigation.

There are Legend location options (including Bottom) like the Windows
version. You can either select the chart and go to the Toolbox->Formatting
Palette->Chart Options pane and select an option in the Legend menu OR
double-click on the legend to get to the Format Legend dialog, select the
Placement pane, and select a location and click OK. I hope this helps!
