Hi all

Nice site, I'm like the all the stuff you got here!

Anyway, an interesting problem to tickle your brains:

I've got a bunch of charts on a page that I want vertically aligned
(i.e., the vertical axes line up when the graphs are stacked down a
page). I thought this would just be a matter of setting the chartarea
object in a fixed position. Which they are; the chart objects all line
up perfectly.

The problem is, as I see it, is that the amount of text on the vertical
axis is pushing the plot area in. I got rid of everything shy of the
scale, which I need, but this varies (sometimes it might be double
digits, other times 3 or even 4 digits)

In a cheap attempt to elicit some ideas, I decided to post a picture of
my woes. Everyone likes a picture!

Here, I have a typical situation. Two graphs, with their chartareas
both identical in size and horizontal position. But the y-axis label
text on the side of the plot pushes the plotarea in. This wouldn't
normally be an issue, but, depending on the number and type of digits
in the text, the x-axis is shifted over by a different amount for each
graph. I really need these to all be aligned perfectly as they share a
common x-axis along the bottom (not visible).

Any ideas how to get around this?

Plotarea.left seems to have no effect whatsoever, plotarea.insideleft
is read-only, and implementing VB code to set the number of significant
figures runs into a whole plethora of problems.. I'm really not a fan of
charts in Excel, they just don't behave :D

Thanks!
