I always seem to struggle with this. My pie is small. When I try to stretch
it so it is bigger, is gets even smaller. How do you do this? -- Shelly Kendrick |

You will have a Chart Area, which is the outer boundary of the chart
(often white, maybe with a border) and a Plot Area, which is the area in which the pie chart is shown. If you click on the outer (white) area then you will see small squares in the corners and centre of the edges, and you can drag these to make the Chart Area larger or smaller, If you click in the white area just outside the pie chart (imagine a rectangle drawn so that it touches the edges of the pie chart - click in this part) then you will see a rectangle highlighted with small squares at the corners. This is the Plot Area, and you can drag those squares to enlarge the pie chart itself - up to the edges of the Chart Area. Hope this helps.
