Moving a chart

An embedded chart can be moved anywhere on a worksheet. The easiest way to move a chart is to drag it around the worksheet.

To Move a Chart:

• Click anywhere on the white space in the chart and use the cursor to drag the chart anywhere on the worksheet.
  
  
• Release the mouse button to place the graph in its new location.

Resizing a Chart

Charts can be resized-made larger or smaller-to fit on a worksheet. Chart Titles are sized in proportion to how large or small you make the chart. And within the Chart Area, the Legend and/or Plot Area can be made larger or smaller. Chart Titles can be moved but not resized.

To Resize a Chart:

• Click anywhere on the white space of the chart area, plot area or legend you want to move or resize.
  
  
• Point the mouse to one of the Grab Handles or Resize Cursor-the pointer changes to a double-headed arrow-to resize the chart.
  
  
• Use the mouse to drag the sizing handle until the chart is resized to the desired size.

Deleting a Chart

Any embedded chart or chart sheet can be deleted from a worksheet. A chart sheet is deleted in the same manner a worksheet is deleted. This section discusses how to delete an embedded chart.

To Delete a Chart:

• Click anywhere on the white space of the chart area to select the chart.
• Press the Delete key on your keyboard.

If you have difficulty deleting a chart, click anywhere outside of the chart and then select the chart again.

Challenge!

• Open your Monthly Budget file.
• Move the chart so that it is located below Row 19 and all the data.
• Resize the chart so that it is larger than its current size.
• Save and close the document.
