To move a chart interactively:
1) Click on the chart to select it. Green sizing handles appear around
the chart.
2) Hover the mouse pointer anywhere over the chart other than on a
handle. When it changes shape, click and drag the chart to its
new location.
3) Release the mouse button when the element is in the desired
position.
To resize or move a chart using the Position and Size dialog box:
1) Click on the chart to select it. Green sizing handles appear around
the chart.
2) Choose Format > Position and Size from the menu bar, or
right-click and choose Position and Size from the pop-up menu,
or press F4. For more about the use of this dialog box, see
Chapter 6 (Formatting Graphic Objects).
Moving chart elements
You may wish to move or resize individual elements of a chart,
independent of other chart elements. For example, you may wish to
move the legend to a different place. Pie charts allow individual
wedges of the pie to be moved (in addition to the choice of “exploding
the entire pie).
1) Double-click the chart so that is enclosed by a gray border.
2) Click any of the elements—the title, the legend, or the chart
graphic—to select it. Green resizing handles appear.
3) Move the pointer over the selected element. When it changes
shape, click and drag to move the element.
4) Release the mouse button when the element is in the desired
position.
Note
If your graphic is 3D, round red handles appear which control
the three-dimensional angle of the graphic. You cannot resize or
reposition the graphic while the round red handles are showing.
Shift + Click to get back to the green resizing handles. You can
now resize and reposition your 3D chart graphic. See the
following tip.
Tip
You can resize the chart graphic using its green resizing handles
(Shift + Click, then drag a corner handle to maintain the
proportions). However, you cannot resize the title or the key.
