Pie Chart Resize
I would like to enlarge my pie chart but not the plot area of the embedded
chart (ie-decrease the white space within the plot area). However, when I select the pie chart then drag it out in an attempt to enlarge it, the only thing that happens is the the pieces of the pie chart become separated from eachother and don't enlarge. I want the whole pie chart (connected) to enlarge. THX. |

Pie Chart Resize
Hi,
You can increase the plotarea, within the chart area, selecting it. Currently sounds like you are selecting the slices and dragging those will cause them to explode. The plotarea is a square within which the slices are located. So imagine a square and click in the corner areas around the slices. Or click the slices and then use the Up arrow to cycle thru the chart elements.

Pie Chart Resize
Hi Andrew,
Selecting the plot area on the pie is a little confusing at first, so the easiest way to handle this is the select the chart and open the Chart Objects drop down on the Chart toolbar and pick Plot Area. You will see a square around the chart with sizing handles at the corners. Resize with these. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Andrew" wrote: I would like to enlarge my pie chart but not the plot area of the embedded chart (ie-decrease the white space within the plot area).
