MS Office Forum / Excel / Charting / January 2004excel paste in powerpoint
When I paste a chart from Excel to PowerPoint the chart is distorted. For example, the legend is huge and covers up a good portion of the graph. I use the paste special/picture option of pasting. A few weeks ago all was fine but not things are distorted. This only happens on a my PC. Other PCs in the office paste the chart without the distortion. My version of Excel is 9.0.6926 SP-3 (others in the office have the same version). Any ideas what is going wrong? This might not help, but it's worth a try. Hold Shift while selecting Copy Picture from the Edit menu in Excel, to copy the chart as a picture. This way, PowerPoint may not get the opportunity to mess up the chart while converting it to a picture. Otherwise it sounds like something is now broken, and you might have to reinstall Excel or Office. I think Office 9 (2000) comes with some kind of repair utility, but I've never had the need to try it out. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services http://PeltierTech.com/Excel/Charts/ _______ > When I paste a chart from Excel to PowerPoint the chart is > distorted.

Another way around this may be to paste as link, which seems to retai more of the appearance of the original. Even if you then immediatel break the link, the appearance remains closer to the original than straight copy and paste -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com If you already haven't done this, try it: 1) Copy the chart to your clipboard 2) Go to Powerpoint 3) Choose Edit, paste special, paste OR paste link I'm having a problem JUST ON MY MACHINE where the Y Axis' Title is truncating when I copy and paste! It's driving me crazy....but it works fine on other people's systems. My IT people are trying to figure it out. They've re- installed Excel too. >-----Original Message----- >When I paste a chart from Excel to PowerPoint the chart is [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >. I'm having the same truncated y-axis label problem. It also happens when I paste into Word. It seems to be document-specific for me. If I copy the data to a new Excel workbook, re-make the chart, save the new file and copy from there, the entire axis title shows up. --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ This is a frustrating problem. Some people never have it, a few can't avoid it, and for some it comes and goes. I've been lucky. There's no satisfying workaround for it. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services http://PeltierTech.com/Excel/Charts/ _______ > I'm having the same truncated y-axis label problem.
