Resizing a chart so it's all visible

If I import a chart from Excel and I want to resize it - so that all text is legible - but that ends up making it bigger than the slide...so that in presentation view, now I can't see the x and y axis labels at all - how do I get around that? The problem I am having is with a custom template - which I don't want to post for confidentiality reasons. Oddly enough I can get it to work with my standard PowerPoint templates...

If it's  ok with one template and not another, what are the respective   design sizes for each template? If you're using the new standard 16x9 then they should be 960x540 which is equivalent to 13.333" x 7.5" or 33.866cm x 19.05cm

Also, are you inserting the chart into a placeholder? Finally, when resizing, are you resizing the whole chart onp object or the chart area inside it?

Ah I was putting it on a slide with a placeholder and resizing it but when I changed the slide layout to blank - then it took it...generally speaking, if the chart has a lot of data on it - what's the best way around this?
