Hi,

I copied some diagrams from Excel. When I scale these diagrams, the text
size keeps large. How can I auto scale the text in a diagram (title,
axis) when I rescale the whole diagram? Or can I convert a diagram
easily in a graphic?

Thanks
Konrad

Instead of copy/paste, use copy (from Excel) then Paste Special, Link into PPT.
The text should scale cleanly then; when you no longer need the link, you can
break it or just ungroup and regroup the diagram.

Ungrouping the existing diagrams will convert them to graphics that you can
edit.

Or try this:

Copy the diagram, then choose Edit, Paste Special and pick WMF or EMF (try both
to see which works best). When you resize the pasted EMF/WMF, the text should
resize along with it.
