Default Chart size
When I create a chart it always defaults to 128% (custom) view. When I send
it to others, they complain about having to reduce the size. Is there a way to set my default chart settings to 100% for every new document? Thanks, Rick |

Rick,
Are you referring to a chart sheet or an embedded chart? Assuming you're referring to a chart sheet, one method would be to add the following code to the code module of each chart sheet. To do so, go to Tools - Macro - Visual Basic Editor. Look for the chart code module in the VBA Project window on the upper left side of the screen. Add this code to each chart sheet module: Private Sub Chart_Activate() ActiveWindow.Zoom = 100 End Sub ---- Regards, John Mansfield http://www.pdbook.com "Rick" wrote: When I create a chart it always defaults to 128% (custom) view.

Another thing to try, which will probably screw up your print setup, is select Options on the Tools menu, click on the Chart tab, and check Chart Sizes With Window Frame. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ John Mansfield wrote: Rick, Are you referring to a chart sheet or an embedded chart?

Just to follow up, a quick test has showed that the print setup is not
affected at all by this setting, but the way the VBA Chart.Export method handles the chart is vastly different. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ Jon Peltier wrote: Rick - Another thing to try, which will probably screw up your print setup, is select Options on the Tools menu, click on the Chart tab, and check Chart Sizes With Window Frame. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ John Mansfield wrote: Rick, Are you referring to a chart sheet or an embedded chart?

Hi I have a similar question, but just the opposite. I'm using Excel 2000. I used to have my graph in zoom of 130%, because the size'd be better when exporting to html. Now I had to reinstall windows, and by default now the Chart Sizes With Window Frame option is turned ON, so I cannot zoom anymore. However, I can't turn if off ?? Everytime I click it, the checkmark just stays there. In programming code, the 'sizewithwindow' property is set to True, and if I select False it immediately resets to True again :( Any way I can correct this? Thanks! -- Elikian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Elikian's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=24436 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=342326 |

Hahahaha... ok, I solved the problem by installing a printer ... Now I can unclick the checkmark. Weird stuff... but I thought I'd mention it for future users. -- Elikian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Elikian's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=24436 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=342326 |
