Width of columns on standard column chart

I'm new to Excel. I created a standard column chart in Excel 2000 using Insert>Chart and would like to know how to increase the width of the resulting columns. I know that decreasing the gap between them increases the the width, but I want more space between them.

I tried selecting the data series and dragging the handles on the sides but they don't move.

Thanks.

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)

You want to increase the width of your columns, but without decreasing the gap? Increase your chart area.
