MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007Powerpoint Text from Excel Question
I am creating little reports in Excel (with Text Descriptions) and Copy/Paste Special Linking them into Powerpoint. I'm finding that Powerpoint messes up the text a little bit and I cannot figure out why. An example of this is this: Unweighted <---- This word is typed into the Excel Chart. Unw eighted <---- This is how it shows up on my report in Powerpoint. It is only a few places but my boss wanted me to correct it. Before I tell him it cannot be changed, I was hoping someone could shed some insight. I'm using an Arial font Size 8. Nothing special. I've tried printing it on a black and white laser and a color laser and the results are the same. > I am creating little reports in Excel (with Text Descriptions) and Copy/Paste > Special Linking them into Powerpoint.

See what happens if you bump the text to 9 or 10 points in Excel, then re-copy/paste/link into PPT. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Steve is correct about 8 points being a magic number. In addition to his comments, try clicking Tools + Options and on the Printing tab check the checkbox "Print at Printer Resolution". PowerPoint uses the printer driver in places that only make sense to the PPT Dev team.
