For example, if you're using Excel 2003 or earlier, try this. Create an embedded chart on a worksheet. Set the zoom to 75. Copy the chart, select a cell, and paste it. The pasted chart is about 75% of the original's size. Some programmer corrected for the zoom twice. If you shift-click the chart to select the chart object (so it's highlighted with white handles instead of black), it will paste the same size as the original regardless of zoom.
