Was the sheet at 100% zoom?

Other settings can sometimes cause problems.

No, the font was at least 10 point and maybe larger. I didn't try to print
it to see if it rendered properly. This graph is for a report which *may*
be delivered electronically as well as in a print version so it has to look
right on the screen as well. I'm thinking that Excel was reaching it's
limit of data on the chart or in the workbook (I have lots of worksheets).

Barb -

Is the text rather small? Sometimes if you ask for a small font, say 5 or

6 points,

it actually changes to the desired font, and prints accurately, but

doesn't appear

to on screen.

I already tried several methods to change the font, including the ones

you

suggested and none worked. I ended up putting in new text boxes after

the

chart was formatted with the font I wanted, but I shouldn't have had to

do

that.

You should be able to right click on the text boxes, and go to options

or

format text boxes. Then there should be a place to change the font from

a

tab. If not there should be another button that allows you to go to

format

or


settings. Going through there, you should find the place to change the

font.


I hope this works.

text boxes. It looks strange with some in one font and some in

another.
