My problem is this ... I ended up making two pie charts (each has a text box
beneath) and while I could get them to look "right" on the page I'm not able
to paste them into our website because of the "blank/white area" which
surrounds them. I read several posts regarding shrinking this area, but
cannot figure out how to make it smaller without reducing the size of the pie
charts/text boxes ... HELP! I need pie charts for dummies! Any SIMPLE
advice?

I am a devout adherent to the Keep It Simple Stupid principle. Sometimes,
using two charts is simpler than using a single chart which is designed for
complicated situations.

Hi Jon,
I've been looking on some other responses you gave related to pie by pie
charts. Will that route work just as well? I think you referred to
Andy's
website ... I'm trying now to figure out how to create the pie by pie
charts.
Which way is easier? I'M DEFINATELY A NOVICE! Thank you! Lisa

just
so, then use Source Data on the Chart menu to select the other data
range.

I need to show two pie charts side-by-side for comparison. One chart is
at
100% participation in one plan option. The other chart (not a
sub-division
of the 100%) shows three plan options at 58% participation, 38%
participation
and 4% participation. I don't want to use something like a pie of pie
chart
because the 2nd chart is not related to the first chart. They are just
to
be
used for comparison. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
