Changing Coloured Box size in Legend ??

**richardeallen** · 10-12-2007, 06:33 AM

Hi there
I've created a chart in excel and the coloured box's in th elegend are too small.
Does anyone know if you can change the size of the box's without changing the text size???

I'd of thought it sholud be possible but i just dont know how to do it.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Try clicking on the legend, then right click, Format

I've tried that one but there doesn't seem to be the option of selecting the boxes.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for responding.

Ah, I see what you mean now, I don't thing that's possible, but may be a work round would be to select the coloured box (which also selects the text), then right click Format Legend entry and pick Superscript? Bigger square - smaller text?

Bit of a bodge but it works!
Thanks for that.
I'd of thought they'd of designed that ability in. They always look a bit small to me.

Many thanks
