Resize a Graph

When you resize a graph, you can then print or save the graph in its new size.
If you resize a graph and there is not enough space to display entire titles, footnotes, or axis labels, then an alternate short label is displayed. For details, see Use of Alternate Short Text in Graph Elements .
To resize a graph:
  1. Select Formatthen selectGraph Properties. The Graph Properties dialog box appears.
    Graph Properties dialog box
    You can also right-click anywhere in the graph and select Graph Properties from the menu.
  2. In the Size section of the dialog box, click the up and down arrows in the Width and Height fields. The width and height are measured in inches. Clicking an arrow changes the value by 0.01 inch (which is equivalent to one pixel). Your graph becomes larger or smaller depending on which values you select.
    Alternatively, you can type the values in the fields.
    Note: To resize the graph proportionally, make sure the Keep Aspect Ratio check box is checked. If you want to specify the width and height independently without retaining the current aspect ratio, then clear the check box.
  3. Click OK.
Note: You can also enlarge or reduce the view of a graph by using the Zoom tool. The Zoom tool does not resize the graph. To zoom in or out, select Viewthen selectZoom from the menu, and then select the zoom value that you want.
