Default How to add data outside chart range

I'm an excel chart beginner. How do I add data to the data worksheet to
automatically update the linked chart, when the new data goes outside the
chart range. Ie, the value axis is Percentage, the existing data goes up to
40%, and the linked chart's value axis goes up to 40%. If I add data over
40%, the line goes up off the chart. The chart does not not increase in
range. I there any way to automtically increase the range shown on the chart,
or do I have do a new automatic chart? The reason I don't want to do that is
that I have tweaked a number of automatically created charts, and I don't
want to have to re-tweak them. (This raises a further question: is there a
way to add my style to the automatic process? I tried doing that, making it
the new default, but the charts created were not right.)
