Hello.

I am trying to make a chart full-size to print. I have the margins set to narrow. The chart is a 3d column chart. Do I need to change my chart type? I have tried to change the size under the format tab under size, but those areas are shaded out and I cannot type in it. Could someone please help me?

If I understand you correctly, you can simply select the chart or whatever, and then go to File>Print, and Excel will do ONLY that. Otherwise, click on an empty cell or something before printing, and it will do everything on the page.

Hi. Thanks for the answer. I am trying to make my chart bigger...to total print size. I set my margins and want to make the chart fit in those margins, but for some rason resizing isn't working. It's shaded out. It's the size of the chart that I am struggling with, and I don't think I was very clear. So sorry.

Can you post a screenshot? Also, what version of Excel do you have?
