Are you using Autoshape drawings in the Excel chart? I am told that Autoshapes and charts work on two different grids, so that it's very difficult to get them to work when you transfer vector graphics outside Excel to try to show them anywhere else. I know from my own experience that's true; it's very disappointing, as the shapes would have been a very powerful addition to Excel's graphing capabilities. -- Del Cotter NB Personal replies to this post will send email to , which goes to a spam folder-- please send your email to del3 instead. |

Does the chart have to remain linked to Excel?
If not, copy the chart as a picture. In Excel, select the chart, hold Shift while selecting the Edit menu, choose Copy Picture; in most cases, the On Screen and Picture options provide the best results. If so, make a copy of the chart, change its location to a chart sheet, move the chart sheet to a new workbook. Go to Page Setup and adjust the margins so the chart within the margins is the size you need in PowerPoint; e.g., a chart that has to be 3.5 by 5 on a 8.5 by 11 page needs margins of (8.5-3.5)/2 or 2.5 top and bottom and (11-5)/2 or 3 left and right. Copy this chart and paste it into PowerPoint. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Jean" wrote in message ...
