F.4 Chart Formatting (for Excel 2003)

Excel incorrectly formats the charts created by the In-Depth Excel 2003 instructions. Use the

formatting adjustments in Table F.3_2003 to properly format charts you create. Before applying

these adjustments, relocate the chart to its own chart sheet. To do so, right-click the chart

background and click Location from the shortcut menu. In the Chart Location dialog box, click

As new sheet, enter a name for the new chart sheet, and click OK.

Use all of the adjustments in Table F.3_2003, unless a particular set of charting instructions

tells you otherwise. To apply the adjustments, you must be open to the chart sheet containing the

chart to be adjusted. Excel hides or disables chart formatting choices that do not apply to a

particular chart type.

Occasionally, when you open to a chart sheet, the chart is either too large to be fully seen or

too small, surrounded by a chart frame mat that is too large. To adjust the size of the chart, select


View Zoom and in the Zoom dialog box click Fit selection and then click OK.
