Hi,

You'll have to excuse my non-technical language, but hopefully this will
make sense...

When a chart is plotted, is is drawn within a predefined border (don't know
what this "border" is called, I'm afraid).

The total plotted area can be resized simply be selecting and dragging the
points around the edge. This also changes the size of the chart plotted
within the border, but only in proportion to that border.

What I would like to do is increase the size of the chart whilst keeping the
size of the border constant. Is this possible?

The reason for this is that I am exporting these charts to Word and the
"unused" area around the chart is making formatting the document difficult as
I end up with large expanses of white which I would rather was filled with
nice colourful charts :-)

This is in XL 2003, if that makes a difference.

TIA

Dave
