Chart appearance in WinXP vs Win2000

[paul]

I am using Excel 2002 (office XP) both at home and at
work. My home machine has Win XP professional installed
while my office machine has Windows 2000 installed.

I have created several chart sheets within a spreadsheet
file. Each chart sheet has four charts on the page. When I
view the chart sheets on the Win2000 machine I am able to
resize and zoom. When I use the Windows XP box, the zoom
is not available (greyed out). Is anyone familiar with
this difference in operation/appearance?

Check the setting for "Sized with window" on the View menu. If it's
checked, you will not be able to change the zoom. This shouldn't depend on
the OS, though.

you may have one of the same problems that two subsequent messages refer to.

Either your default view is or isn't "sized with windows"
or
one of your computers doesn't have a printer configured and can only
display the chart "sized with windows"

Thanks for the feedback. The printer configuration on my
new laptop was faulty (I had no local pinter setup and
the network printer was not available). I added a local
printer and that solved my problem.
