Summary:

When selecting attached text on an Excel chart and choosing Text from the Format menu, the Automatic Size check box is unavailable (dimmed).

More Information:

The box in which attached text is displayed cannot be sized; it is sized automatically. Thus, the Automatic Size check box is selected and the option is unavailable (dimmed). When choosing Format Text with unattached text selected, the Automatic Size option is available.

The box into which unattached text fits can be sized. Selecting the Automatic Size check box tells Excel to fit the box around the text.
