Default Resizing a Line Chart

Where would I find the "camera tool" in Excel 2000?

You might try eliminating the built-in data table. Create a data table using
worksheet cells. Then use the camera tool to copy the data table into the
chart as a picture. By using this method, the data data size and formatting
will remain independent of any resizing of the chart.

I have a line chart with three months of data spanning across 17 series. The
chart has no legend, but a Data Table with Legend Keys turned on. Due to
there being 17 series & the data table turned on the chart is quite tall. I
would like to resize the plot area making it a bit squattier. Every time I
try to resize it using the upper center handle it shrinks it, but it also
pulls the bottom up which crops off the lower items in the data table.
Is there a way to "squish" the plot area virtically without adjusting the
data table?
