Is it possible to set up the Legend so that it only shows when it is in
prited format?

Not directly, but you could remove the legend from the chart and write a
VBA macro for the Workbook_BeforePrint event that would set the chart's
..HasLegend property to True if the chart is part of what is to be printed.

Hi,

For a non vba solution how about covering the legend with an autoshape.
Format this to has the same colour as the chart area without a border.
Set the properties of the autoshape to not print, so legend is covered
in worksheet but revealed when printed.
