Legend formatting

How do I make the legend fit the entire page? I tried adjusting the legend columns, but it's not covering everything.

I would adjust the word wrapping for your columns to be wider. That should remove some of the red ellipses saying that not all text is displaying, and take up more space on your page.

It touches the bottom now, but the columns are very far apart, even though column spacing is at zero

Interesting. I'm not sure what is going on here, I would expect it to work with those settings. Have you tried changing the font size?

I brought the font from 6 to 1, didn't change the columns

Ok, good to know. This might seem counter-intuitive, but can you try making the font bigger? Say size 14? What does that look like? It seems the legend items are not taking up the column space appropriately, maybe a larger font size will reset it.

I ended up just copy and pasting into a text box, looks a lot better
