One option would be to delete the standard legend and replace it with a
custom "picture" legend. You can then make the legend keys any size or shape that you wish. The process described here might help: http://www.pdbook.com/index.php/exce..._from_picture/ The drawback would be if you're building a lot of charts at one time, this process could get tedious. ---- Regards, John Mansfield http://www.pdbook.com "BlondRapunzil" wrote: Does anyone know how to change legend keys in bar graph to rectangular (like in column graph) instead of the default square key? |

John,
Thanks very much for that. I only have a couple of legends to replace, so I will use the method you described.
