Default Making Equal Spacing between -- X-Axis = Y-Axis, in a char

Hi,

I'm trying to plot a simple x, y chart (using a scatter chart) and I can't
figure out how to control the chart so that the X-axis spacing is equal to
the Y-axis spacing.

Excel (I'm using 2007) usually draws the chart so that the X-Axis is longer
than the Y-Axis. And what I'd like is to have them be the same.

Is there a setting (or work-around) somewhere that restricts, or links the
spacing between these two Axis so that they plot on the same scale and
distance?


I'm trying to study and create a few cross sections for a Kayak Design and I
can't afford to have much distortion in the grid pattern.


Thanks So Much for any Help,

Jim
