 * Microsoft Excel for Windows versions 3.0, 4.0

SUMMARY
Page 453 of the &quot;User's Guide&quot; for Microsoft Excel for Windows version 3.0 states:

You can display the legend in an automatic position, or you can position and size the legend manually This is a documentation error. It is not possible to size the legend manually. The legend may resize depending on its location in the chart sheet and the size of the font used in the legend. Formatting a legend in a smaller font will decrease its size.

The statement that appears next to a chart legend (page 436 in version 3.0 &quot;User's Guide&quot; and page 435 in version 4.0 &quot;User's Guide 1&quot;) is partially correct. The legend can be moved, but cannot be manually resized.
