MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2006character spacing when importing from excel to ppt
I am having problems with the character spacing when importing a chart from excel to powerpoint. I read the suggestion of going to the wordart toolbar and turning the "kerning" off but the wordart toolbar is greyed out and I cannot use it. Any suggestions? What version of PowerPoint are you using?

In PowerPoint 2003, if you want to adjust the character spacing, you will need to ungroup the chart (until it will not ungroup anymore). Then you will need to convert each of the labels to WordArt. Then repeat the conversion for each of labels. This is not a fast or easy process and the chart will no longer link to the data (no updates).

I find that when I copy/paste stuff from Excel to PPT and resize it in PPT, the text doesn't increase/decrease size smoothly. Instead it stays the same size then JUMPS a couple points at a time. Odd. The spacing scales smoothly but the text doesn't, with the result that the spacing goes ... pardon the technotalk ... wonko and bad ugly. I find that if I select the content in Excel then Edit, Paste Special, Link into PPT, the charts scale more smoothly. Give that a shot. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Steve, I really need to get used to you having this weird display name in the public groups ;) Patrick "abuse@localhost.com" <abuse@localhost.com> wrote in message news:VA.000026d5.9cfd0b88@localhost.com: > > I am having problems with the character spacing when importing a chart from > > excel to powerpoint.

I supplied both a display name (Steve Rindsberg) and a spam-resistant email address (abuse@localhost.com) Here (using Virtual Access) I see the display name rather than the email address. I wonder which (email or name) people more commonly see? > LOL.
