Default how do i enlarge a pie chart by a fixed percentage?

Hi Jon,

I thought of that but this increases the chartobjects size. So chartarea
and plotarea increase. The code is the only systematic way I could think
of increasing just the plotarea.

Cheers
Andy

Here's an easier way. Hold Shift while you click on the chart. This
highlights the chart with white handles, not the usual black ones. On
the Format menu, select Object, and click on the Size tab. Check the
Lock Aspect Ratio box, then change 100% to 120% in either the Height or
Width Scale box.
