When I copy my Excel graphs into PowerPoint they come across all hosed up.
The graph copies in smaller and the fonts all get smaller. I've had no
success at attempting to fix, through the edit function or anything else.
I've tried resizing it in the slide. Anyone have any suggestions

Are you pasting it into a content placeholder? If so, see if pasting
directly on the slide helps.

Alternatively, see if something under Edit | Paste Special works better.

If you insist on fonts staying the same size in PPT as created in an
Excel chart, check the AutoScale fonts off in Excel and size the chart
correctly in Excel (use Custom page sizes in chart sheets) and size
the Excel object that you pasted into PPT to 100% of original size.
