Default How to Make Pie Charts the Same Size

Alan -

You have two issues. To prevent the fonts from mucking it up, you need
to disable font autoscaling:

I have a utility that I use to resize chart areas and plot areas to make
them all the same size. It's quick and dirty, and will shrink the charts
until all are the same. But I just checked, and it works on pie charts
as well as rectangular charts:

Manually stretch the pies before running the program, and if it doesn't
completely work the first time, run it again. If you have data labels,
they might confuse the issue.

I made 10 pie charts using Excel 2003. But, even though the data is
similar, the size of the charts vary. If I resize the charts (after
the fact) so they are the same size, the point side of the captions
varies do to the re-sizing. Plus it's a bear to resize so they are
identical. How can I get Excel to make the size of the pie charts the
same from the get-go?
