Default Graph Size not adjusting with Chart Area and Plot Area

Do you really need to use a 3D chart type? 3D charts are first of all
notorious for their distortion of the data, but also they are not as easy to
work with manually or in VBA.

Default Graph Size not adjusting with Chart Area and Plot Area

Jon,

The 3D charts are not my choice...I'm just following orders. I am
attempting to use VBA to make it easier for the masses to insert a
chart into a spreadsheet. I actually solved the problem I described by
setting AutoScaling to True (although there are other issues to
resolve).

Thanks anyway,
Mike.
