The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0c
  • Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, versions 5.0, 5.0a
  • Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Excel, if your chart is in the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) display mode, the Size option may not appear in the Copy Picture dialog box when you copy a picture of a chart.

This is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

When your chart is in WYSIWYG mode, the object on the screen is the same size as the printed object and therefore the Size option in the Copy Picture dialog box is not necessary.

To determine the display mode of your chart, do either of the following:

  • If the Sized With Window command on the View menu is selected (has a check mark next to it), your chart is in Sized with Window mode. If it is not selected, your chart is in WYSIWYG mode.

    -or-

  • Choose Options from the Tools menu and select the Chart tab:

    If the Chart Sizes With Window Frame check box is selected, your chart is in Sized With Window mode.

    If this check box is cleared (not selected), your chart is in WYSIWYG mode.

WYSIWYG mode is the default display mode for charts in Microsoft Excel.
