93579 2002-10-27 22:01:00 Is there any way of specifying the size of a graph created in Excel 97? I want to have two charts on the same worksheet of the same dimensions so it looks nice!
Thanks in advance

You can also drag the chart to a new location in the same way.

Or is this the problem? You dont know when they are the same size?

Use the count of rows/columns to get them the same.

If using Office XP it gives the % in each axis when you first drag the size. Once you stop it goes back to 100% starting next time, so you need to get it right first time.

AFAIK there is no default size setting.

This may help to ensure they are exactly the same size.
