Charts - How to customize data labels?

I'm using the Report Builder included in Oracle Developer Suite 10g
(10.1.2.0.2) for Microsoft Windows

and the database is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production

I'm using line charts, bar charts, and I'm running into a problem: I cannot get the data series to display text correctly.

I base the graph on a query such as

select col_1 + col_2 as "Item Addition", new_it + exist_it as "New Total" from ...

so i want to plot these two series, but in the labels I'm getting "Item_Addition_" and "New_Total_" with underscores instead of spaces, and an extra underscore at the end, which is not cool.

In Reports 6i there was a screen where i could edit the display labels for the series, but I'm not finding this on Report Builder 10g.

I found
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/whitepapers/graphdtd/graph_dtd_technote_2.html

which seems to be what i need but apparently the series label text is available only for pie charts?

(Besides, something so simple as displaying a series label correctly
just cannot be this complex, I'm surely missing something)

Thanks in advance
