Preserving chart size when opening on multiple computers

Using Excel 2010 on Windows XP:

After creating several bar charts on an XP machine, the original width of the charts of 6.5" shrinks by about 1" when opening the same file on BOTH an XP machine and a windows 7 machine. This is problematic for multiple reasons, namely that the axis labels are truncated and I must move and resize the plot area in order to rectify.

After googling the issue I saw a few mentions about the zoom size of the window contributing to the issue, i.e. charts would change size with different zoom percentages; but I did not find this consideration to resolve the problem. I have also locked the charts to NOT move or resize with the surrounding cells in chart area properties. Any help is greatly appreciated.
