Moving an

embedded

chart

Around the selected chart object at the four corners and four sides are

selection handles that you can use to resize the embedded chart. As you

move the pointer arrow over the handles, you’ll see the pointer change to

a double-headed arrow of various orientations. Each pointer allows you

to resize the chart in the direction indicated. Try using the selection handles

to make the chart a little larger.

To enlarge the chart:

1 Move your mouse pointer over the handle on the right edge of the

chart until the pointer changes to a.

2 Drag the pointer to the right so that the embedded chart covers

column I.

3 Move the pointer to bottom edge of the chart object and drag the

selection handle so that the border edge covers row 35 (see Figure 3-9).
