Charts

Can you increase the size of the coloured box of the legend entry without having to increase the font size of the legend entry?

RE: Charts

Hi

Thanks for the question,

When you are in the chart itself you should be able to click on to the legend and use the black handles on the corner to drag out the size of the legend. This will not affect the font size of the legend entry. If you wanted to change the size of the entry, once selected all the standard formatting toolbars can be used.

Have a go

Tracy

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
