Troubleshooting Chart Output Size

[nuke_girl]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to create a report to be printed on 11"x17" paper. The report includes a chart that contains so many columns (almost 50) that in order for the font of the column labels to be large enough to be read, I have to print it on large paper.

My chart works fine.
I have the page size, margins and orientation working perfectly.
I know how to go into Microsoft Graph and edit the chart options/layout/size/etc.
I have my chart size in the report set exactly how I want it.

Here's my problem:
When I resize my graph in MS Graph so that the chart takes up the whole chart area that I've set in my report, the edges of the chart get cut off. The chart seems to have a maximum size, and will not get any bigger. In print preview mode, I can see that I easily have several inches surrounding the graph (ie:it's not going on the next page or anything), but only a portion of the graph can be seen.

If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated! I've tried everything I can think of, and nothing seems to work!

Thanks!

p.s.

I just printed a copy of the report, and it seems that the graph won't print larger than 8.5" x 8.5". It's better than nothing, but I'd still like it to be at least 13" long, which is what the chart size is currently set to in the report.
