MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2006Resolution Issues when using Design Templates
I'm currently trying to put together a PP slideshow and wanted to use a decent template and also lots of charts that I wanted to import from excel. The design template I chose is this one. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/templates/TC012136891033.aspx?CategoryID=CT101 426591033&av=ZPP000 To get the charts from excel into PP i could have either copied and pasted as jpegs or as linked workbooks. I chose linked workbooks as this gives the chart a transparent look and so you can still see the design of the slide through the chart and not just a big white box with a chart on it. All seemed to be going well until i previewed the slideshow and all of the text from excel became pixelated and looked horrid. I then did the exact same process but used a blank template instead of a fancy design template and this solved the pixelation problem. Does anyone know how to fix this problem as I really wanted to use this specific template and still have transarent charts. Many thanks Nick Did you make the chart in a NEW sheet in excel? Seems to work better for me to do that adjust font sizes and then copy/paste into ppt  SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > I'm currently trying to put together a PP slideshow and wanted to use a > decent template and also lots of charts that I wanted to import from excel.

I'm thinking the problem is due to the complexity of the background, in that a solid background can easily hide pixelation but a vivid background picks it out. i'm trying to get around the problem by colouring all the cells in my chart with a similar colour to the deisgn template so that I dont just have a big white chart. Just need to know how to find out the specific RGB values used in my template now. Many thanks for trying to help. Nick > Did you make the chart in a NEW sheet in excel?

Hi Nick, the reason for the pixilated Excel charts is the animated title of the slides in this template. Animation sometimes causes text to look pixilated. Do you need or want this animation? If not, you can delete it in the slide master. If you want to keep it, I would recommend at least to use no animation on slides with charts. To delete the animation on a single slide only, open the animation task pane, click on the little arrow right of "Master: Title" and choose to copy effects to slide. Then you can delete the Title animation for this slide.

Given the choice between fancy click through animations and a professional looking presentation I'd choose professionalism every time. Many thanks for the answer. Kind regards Nick Was your chart animated?
