Sam,
Thank you for your reply. I will have to think through what is important
to duplicate in a workbook to get the error message. I cannot send the
original as it has business confidential information in it.
I have a worksheet with a Pivot Table in it. On the same worksheet I have
a spreadsheet region not related to the Pivot Table. I also have a chart
whose data is from the spreadsheet (not a Pivot Chart). It is this chart
that I cannot format the text size on.
I get the error: Method 'TextFrame2" of object 'ChartFormat' failed.
I don't have time to get back to this issue until later this week. I'll
attach an example at that time.
Dan
