Thank you for your help. I found the font size for the legend quite
satisfactory as set. In my opinion, the key 'sample' is too small in
proportion to the font size. I was rather hoping I could increase it whilst
leaving the font size as it is.

Regards.

Click on the legend, then either
a) use the font size box on the Formatting toolbar to increase the font size
or
b) use Format | Selected... and set the font to a large value
The legend keys increase to match the size of the text; and the legend box
automatically resizes to hold everything

My charts are in B&W. I need to increase the size of the legend key to
make
the pattern used in the legend clearer.

How can I do this please?
