MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007Dark borders on Excel spreadsheet imported into PowerPoint
We have a spreadsheet we copied into PowerPoint using the Paste Special. It looks fine until we go to the slide show view. Then some of the borders that are not heavy appear heavy in the show. This is true in all of the options except the bitmap options. Of course, those two make the text fuzzy. Any suggestions?  SignatureBonnie Right-click the pasted object and choose "format object." On the size tab, set it to 100% x 100%.

I don't know of anything else to fix it. Actually, does this happen in Normal editing View or in Slide Show View? If it's in Normal editing View, I think you may just need to get used to checking it in Slide Show View, because Normal editing View can be misleading with these types of things. I had one recently where we made axis titles in MSGraph charts bold, and the client kept adding comments that the axis titles weren't bold. Well, they were, and they looked okay in Slide Show View, but they didn't look bold in Normal editing View. When I'd check the size on the ones that didn't look bold, the chart object would often be 100% x 101%. And I'm sure that's a rounding thing that happens when you click the "lock aspect ratio, because it looks fine in Slide Show View still (all the axis titles did indeed show bold there) -- but it's just enough off that things don't look the same in Normal editing View.

In one example, it fixed the row borders but not the column borders. The problem is that it looks normal in the Normal view and not in the Slide Show view. I wish it were the opposite because we would not care if Normal view was not right as long as Slide Show view was right. SignatureBonnie > Aw, bummer.

Worth a try, anyway. > The problem is that it looks normal in the Normal view and not in the > Slide > Show view.

Unfortunately, it still did not work. I suspect there is some little hidden formatting in Excel. I have tried getting rid of the borders and then creating them again, however.
