SYMPTOMS
When you edit a Microsoft Office Excel chart object in Microsoft Office Word 2007 or in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, the size of the inserted chart object may change.

This issue occurs in the following scenarios.

Scenario 1

 * You save a Word document or a PowerPoint presentation in the 2007 Office system format.
 * The Word document or the PowerPoint presentation contains a chart object.
 * You open the chart object, and then you change the size of the chart object in Excel.

Scenario 2

 * You insert a chart object into a Word document or into a PowerPoint presentation that is saved in the file format that is used in Office 97 products, in Office 2000 products, in Office XP products, and in Office 2003 products.
 * You open the file in Word 2007 or in PowerPoint 2007.
 * You convert the chart object into the 2007 Office system format.
 * You change the size of the chart object in Excel.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the size of a chart object that is displayed in Excel is synchronized with the size of the chart object that is inserted in the source file. If you change the size of the chart object in Excel, the size of the chart object is also changed in the source file. If you exit Excel after the size of the chart object has been changed, the size of the chart object that was inserted in the source file may also change.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the source file.
 * 2) Right-click the chart object, point to Chart Object, and then click Open.
 * 3) In Excel, change the size of the chart object.
 * 4) Exit Excel.
 * 5) Verify the size of the chart object in the source file.
 * 6) Repeat step 1 through step 5 if the size of the chart object in the source file is incorrect.
