I assume you have saved the workbook since running autofont fix.
But other than that I can't think of anything new to suggest.

If you want to email me the file directly I will take a look see.

Cheers
Andy

Andy, A new wrinkle - when trying to format data labels for color, the error
message comes up again. I checked every font format and all AutoScale boxes
are unchecked. I am not allowed to change font colors. Any idea what is
causing this?

Regards, Phil

You should place the code in a standard code module.
And then run the macro.

I have two extra lines so information should be displayed in the
statusbar. See inline changes.

Andy, Thanks for your reply - appreciate the help.

Wasn't sure where to put the code, I have it in Module 1, This Workbook, and
one of the Worksheets "Remediation," which I'm using to test the code's
effect. So far, there is no change (I tried each one separately with no
results). All worksheets still have "Auto scaling" checkboxes checked.
Also, when I try to create a copy of the "Remediation" worksheet (to create a
new issues worksheet), I get the error message again. How do I use this code?

Thanks, Phil

Hi Phil,

This mod will do all chartsheets and charts on worksheets.

Sub FixAllChartFonts()
Dim myCht As ChartObject
Dim mySht As Object

For Each mySht In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets


Application.statusbar = "Processing " & mysht.name

If TypeName(mySht) = "Chart" Then
mySht.ChartArea.AutoScaleFont = False
ElseIf TypeName(mySht) = "Worksheet" Then
For Each myCht In mySht.ChartObjects
myCht.Chart.ChartArea.AutoScaleFont = False
Next
End If
Next


application.statusbar = false

End Sub

Cheers
Andy

Debra,

Was wondering - John suggests a VBA fix for the active chart, and active
sheet (below). Could this code be modified to include the entire workbook?
Where would it be put? Would save a lot of work - I'm building a workbook
with about sixty charts...and this problem emurged when I had 12 worksheets
(24 charts) already created.

Altering the registry is not an option for me - I'm operating on a network
that does not allow such changes - it simply changes things back at the end
of the day.

Sub FixAllChartFonts()
Dim myCht As ChartObject
For Each myCht In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
myCht.Chart.ChartArea.AutoScaleFont = False
Next
End Sub

Jon Peltier has information on this problem in his Charting FAQ article:

When trying to make a copy of a worksheet containing two charts, the
following message comes up: "No more font may be applied to this workbook."
On one of the charts, three axes, two Y and one X, are resized by Excel.
When trying to resize the axes fonts down again, the message appears again.
How do I get around this issue?

Thanks,
Phil
