I am creating charts in my powerpoint presentation, however the charts look
squished. The issue starts when clicking on the chart icon, even the default
east, west, north by quarter chart looks squished. I can manipulate the
chart somewhat using the format, object, size tool, but it still does not
look correct (height=81% width=76%). When I click on the chart to edit, the
chart looks fine.

Thanks!

One solution is to create the charts in Excel, not PowerPoint, and then do a
copy and paste, but rather than a regular paste, select paste special and
select device independent bitmap, which should paste it as viewed and
typically fill your screen as desired, and can still be modified if necessary
to make minor adjustments.

Thanks. Yes, I have tried that and it seems to work fine. However, I would
like to fix the Powerpoint issue.
