MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2007text closing up in charts
On some of our computers, when we create or edit any chart we find that the text and numbers close up tightly together and look unsightly. They stay this way in shows and on printouts. We can solve this simply by opening them on another computer that doesn't exhibit this tendency - when the spacing jumps back to normal. As far as I am aware, all the computers use the same version of PPT 2003 SP2. Any thoughts? (I've been away from the the newsgroup for a while so if this has recently been covered, many apologies).
