Extending The Horiz. Axis Question ?

Hello,

Using Excel 2007 and W7.

I should be able to figure this out myself, but just can't seem to.

I generated a simple scatter chart, but the horiz. axis only seems to go
about 3/4 of the way across the page (landscape mode).

I can enter text into the chart in the 1/4 space to the right (where the
axis didn't get to) just fine.

Tried playing with "Margins,", etc., but no luck.

How do I have the axis extend (or stretch) further, e.g., close to
the right hand edge of the chart and paper ?

Thanks,
Bob

This happened to me once when I had an empty legend to the right of the graph. When I hid the legend, the graph expanded. But this was an earlier version of excel.

Is it a scale problem? Not sure if I am understanding your problem correctly. My initial reaction is that you need to format the axis. Double click on it, select the "scale" tab, and increase the maximum point on the scale.
