Excel Graph in Word printing larger than it looks in print preview

[TCalYen]

I have reports which I produce in MS Word with embedded bar charts. When I am
updating a report with new information, I change the data in the Excel
worksheet that defines the chart, and then when I return to editing in Word,
everything looks fine on the screen. However, when I print - whether to an
Adobe PDF document or directly to a printer, the information in the charts is
blown up to about 125% of original size. Since the chart box prints in the
original size, the content does not all show. How do I fix this?

Hi TCalYen,

What version of Word and Windows?

What steps are you using to insert the Graphs in Word?

Do the charts include the datatable in the display?
