Default Size of "Edit Data in Excel" window of a linked chart in Powerpoint

Question

Hello,

When I update a chart in Excel 365 by right clicking on the chart and then selecting "Edit Data" > "Edit data in Excel", the Excel window that pops up is always bigger than my system screen. That makes it difficult to go to look around and move to the bottom row or far right column of a data data series, as the cursor is off the page if I use my usual short cut of "Ctrl-Down Arrow" or "Ctrl-Right Arrow".

So, I find I am spending a significant time each day resizing the screen manually.

My question is, is there a way that I can set a default size (and location if possible) of the Excel window that launches in this way?

I know how to set these defaults if I am working exclusively in Excel itself, but they do not seem to apply when I launch the "Chart in Microsoft Powerpoint - Excel" window.

Any suggestions or assistance would be very welcome.

Thank you in advance.
