1. From Crystal Reports, create any chart, for example a bar chart
2. Make the chart smaller
3. Right-click on chart label and select`Format Axis Label`
4. Set font size to 12
5. Create a text object and place it under the chart
6. Enter any text within the textobject
7. Right-click on the text object
8. From `Format Text`>Font tab, select font size 12 and make sure that the font style and type are the same of the chart
9. Select `OK` and compare the size of the chart label and the size of the text object.

• The text objects are not the same size because the chart was resized from is original size ( 100% ) to a larger or smaller size.  A chart is an OLE object, so resizing the chart also proportionally resizes the font.

• Workaround: 
  To ensure that a text object displays in the same size on a chart and on the report, resize the graph object to its original size. Since there are no options are currently available to resize a text object to its original size, you have to resize it manually by selecting the object and dragging the mouse.
