Here's a fun zoom trick. Make an embedded chart. Put the zoom at 100%, copy the
chart and paste it. Same size (well, not exactly; it seems to have gained a pixel in
height and width).

Change the zoom to 75%, copy the original chart, and paste it. The new chart is 75%
the size of the original (again, not exactly, it's 75.15% in width and 76.84% in
height).

Change the zoom to 50%, copy the original chart, and paste it. Whoa, the new chart
is now half the size of the original (50.31% in width, 53.33% in height).

This behavior occurs when you select a chart normally. If you hold down shift or
control while selecting the chart, then copy and paste, the pasted chart is exactly
the same size as the copied chart.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. One thing that stands out is the
zoom setting. I have learnt over the years that XL is best served at
100% zoom. While on occassion I do use it at other settings it is only
for brief durations and I tend to return to 100% as soon as possible.
