I have created a PP presentation with lots of charts (pie, bar, etc.) in
them. If I run the slide show they look great, however, if I add a custom
animation to any of the charts the resolution of the text on them is awful,
they go all pixilie. If I take the custom animation off the go back to
looking great. How can I have custom animation and great looking text?

Sue,

If you ungroup them, then generally they will look OK.

Be sure to keep a 'copy' of them in case you need to update the numbers
behind the graphs

Please, when you read that article, don't shoot the messenger. :)

I wrote that article a long time ago (believe me - we have fought this for
years). I have since seen the problem. I still haven't found a fix for
versions 2003 and earlier. I have not seen the problem under normal
circumstances in 2007. :)
