I think you could get away with locking in the font size, and
defining the plot area dimensions. The plot area is good to fix
anyway, because of the excessive white space around it.

With ActiveChart.PlotArea
.Left = 10
.Top = 25
.Width = 215
.Height = 170
End With

Of course, you need to adjust these sizes for labels, chart area
size, etc.

Okay - thanks Jon, much appreciated.

Just out of interest, would it be conceptually possible to do what I
was trying before ...) or
is that just impossible?

Thanks again,

Alan.
