Brenda,

Perhaps this site can help. It gives a pixels to inches conversion.

Brenda -

You mean cell width or chart width is in pixels? Where are you reading
this size? It's probably in points, by the way, not pixels. There are 72
points to the inch, and depending on your screen resolution and other
video settings, you might have 96 pixels per inch (1.25 pixels/point).

Hold the Shift key while selecting the chart. It will have white
handles, not black, on the corners and edges. Then right click on the
chart and select format object. This brings up a dialog: click on the
Size tab. On my machine this gives the size in inches.
