Add labels to x and y axis for scatter graph

How do I enter the data for a scatter graph so that I can get a label on the X and Y axis?

In the example below, I would like to add AGE to the X axis and SCORE to the Y axis.

I want it to look like this, but these are labels I added manually. I'd like to know how to have Illustrator add them to the graph automatically.

    You can't do that automatically.

    Have you tried using quotes around the age/score inserts?

    Your answer gave me hope, but unfortunately, that didn't do it.

    Monika, Thank you for confirming that.

    It's been difficult to find information about Illustrator graphs. Even the Adobe help file is skimpy. If you can recommend any good (by that I mean thorough) reference material, please let me know.
