The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Excel, when you apply a user-defined chart AutoFormat to an embedded chart, the Page Setup options in the AutoFormat are not applied.


CAUSE

When you create a user-defined chart AutoFormat, from either an embedded chart, or a chart contained on its own sheet, the Page Setup options are saved in the AutoFormat along with the chart formatting.

When you apply the user-defined AutoFormat to an embedded chart, the Page Setup options such as orientation and header/footer information are not copied to the chart.


WORKAROUND

When you apply a user-defined AutoFormat to an embedded chart, you must manually change the Page Setup options, such as margins and orientation, to the desired settings.

Note that when you apply a user-defined AutoFormat to a chart sheet, the Page Setup options contained in the AutoFormat ARE copied to the chart.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0.
