Just select the plot area with your mouse and drag the edge to fit the chart
area.

That said, I don't know why it's not resizing on its own.

Normally, when I create a chart and clear the series
legend, the plot area expands to the right to fill the
space.

This time, it does not.

How can I get the plot area to fill the chart area?

I have tried reinstituting te series legend and clearing
it again, to no avail.

I am using Office Excel 2003 (11.6355.6360) SP1.
