Default Plot area too small

You can use the drop down box on the Charts toolbar to select the portion of
the chart that you want to change. Then after you have edited the chart the
way that you want it I believe the indicator to make the chart the default
for that chart type is on the Chart Type dialog box. Right click on the
chart and choose Chart Type.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

I recently specified a chart to be the default format for x-y charts. I'm
not sure why, but now when I create a new x-y chart, the plot area is
miniscule -- less than the size of a small postage stamp at 400% zoom! It's
too small to even select, in order to resize.

Can anyone tell me how I can fix the problem, including changing the default
chart to one with a reasonable-sized plot area?

Thanks.
