My Aim:
Charts in Powerpoint 2003 that autoupdate on opening with a traceable source to Excel 2003, with high quality formatting.

The Problem:
The Chart size in Excel is not big enough, so the graph must be expanded in Powerpoint leading to font size changes, even when autoscaling has been deselected in Excel. I have over 30 graphs like this.

Question:
Is it possible to increase the Chart Area in Excel? They are currently on separate sheets. At present when i click in the chart area and squares appear at the corners of the area and half way along each edge, when I hover the mouse over these there is no option to drag change the size of the chart. Likewise when exploring formatting options or page settings.

Any ideas?

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
