Moving and Resizing tips in Excel

Question

How do I move and resize charts in Excel?

Answer

When you select the chart to make it active, be sure you have selected the entire chart, not just one element.
 
You will be able to tell by the selection handles, which will appear at the outermost edges of the chart
When you move the pointer over a blank area of the chart after you have selected it, you should see the label Chart Area appear.  These tips will help you select and move the entire chart, and not just one of its elements.
