Moving chart elements
You may wish to move or resize individual elements of a chart, independent of other chart elements. For example, you may wish to move the legend to a different place. Pie charts allow moving of individual wedges of the pie (in addition to the choice of “exploding” the entire pie).
- Double-click the chart so that is enclosed by a gray border.
- Click any of the elements—the title, the legend, or the chart graphic—to select it. Green resizing handles appear.
- Move the pointer over the selected element. When it changes shape, click and drag to move the element.
- Release the mouse button when the element is in the desired position.
 | If your graphic is 3D, round red handles appear which control the three-dimensional angle of the graphic. You cannot resize or reposition the graphic while the round red handles are showing. With the round red handles showing, Shift + Click to get the green resizing handles. You can now resize and reposition your 3D chart graphic. See the following tip.

 | You can resize the chart graphic using its green resizing handles (Shift + Click, then drag a corner handle to maintain the proportions). However, you cannot resize the title or the key.
