Note
Chart Floor, from the Format menu, is only available for 3D
charts and has the same formatting options as 3Chart Area and
Chart Wall.
Knowing the difference between the chart wall and chart area is
helpful when formatting a chart.
Resizing and moving the chart
You can resize or move all elements of a chart at the same time, in two
ways: interactively, or by using the Position and Size dialog box. You
may wish to use a combination of both methods: interactive for quick
and easy change, then the dialog box for precise sizing and positioning.
To resize a chart interactively:
1) Click on the chart to select it. Green sizing handles appear around
the chart.
2) To increase or decrease the size of the chart, click and drag one
of the markers in one of the four corners of the chart. To maintain
the correct ratio of the sides, hold the
Shift
key down while you
click and drag.
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. 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 moving of
individual wedges of the pie (in addition to the choice of “exploding”
the entire pie).
