I receive PowerPoint templates that are linked to Excel files. I must update
the Excel file witrh current data. When I return to PowerPoint and update
the links the information no longer fits in PowerPoint. I am not changing
any of the column widths in Excel. The only thing that changes is the
information in each cell. The Excel information fits perfectly in the file
that I receive.

Can anyone tell me what I need to change / adjust to make my Excel files fit?

It may have to do with the combination of the version of Excel, PPT, and
Windows you're using. See
