Also, once you explicitly set the size/position of an object, Excel doesn't try to
autofit it within the chart. So:

With ActiveChart.PlotArea
' position and size parameters are in points
' choose parameters that suit your situation
'
' shrink plot area first so you can move unconstrained
.Width = 50
.Height = 50
' position and resize plot area
.Left = 10
.Top = 24
.Width = 250
.Height = 175
End With

Good Morning Bing,


Problem is that each time the title undergoes a smaller

font size change,

the chart actually changes position within the chart area

by moving up.

Also any labels i've placed in the chart area also

changes position and move

up as well.

Anyone have any ideas why and how to stop this?


well, afaik this is because Excel automatically arranges
all elements within a chart so that every element has the
max size. So if e.g. the chart title becomes smaller,
excel makes the chartarea larger...

I think you could stop this by using the

AutoScaleFont Property

for each element within the chart... e.g.

Selection.AutoScaleFont = False

Best
