MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2008text stretches when copying charts into new PPT doc
When I copy charts from another PPT document to the new one I am working on, the text stretches once I click out of the chart area. When I am in the chart area, the chart font looks good... but as soon as I get out of the chart, the font stretches. I have even tried inserting new (PPT generic) charts and the text on these too stretches before I even modify them. I have verified that: -- Format Object --> height and width = 100% -- Format chart area --> autoscale is unchecked I do have a new computer and am wondering if there is another setting I have missed...?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!! Are paper sizes and page orientations the same in both documents? PPT 2003 or 2007? and I presume the chart is a PPT chart and not and embedded Excel chart  SignatureGlen (TD-DTP) It''''s cold up here in Toronto...

Working in PPT 2003 over a remote server (although my machine has PPT 2007). Yes, this is a straight PPT chart, not an embedded Excel. I adjusted my screen resolution (as I have a wide screen monitor and orginal reports were created on non-wide screen) -- seems to have temporarily fixed the problem... although that makes no sense to me, as nothing else was stretched. Moreover, it printed/saved/viewed on other monitors stretched. Thank you!!! > Are paper sizes and page orientations the same in both documents? > PPT 2003 or 2007?

Thank you!! We've had this problem on several machines (now only on a Vaio laptop with up-to-date video driver). Our experience was that it worked normally for some considerable time (months) then suddenly the graphs would stretch. The only way of getting them right was to open them on an unaffected computer. We never discovered the cause.

Thank you!! ...and we mostly do pretty standard stuff on very conventional systems as they have to work on our clients' cludgy machines. We think it may be ghosts as nobody can find any other explanation - we're on the site of Villiers' old palace and Pepys and even David Copperfield (the original) lived next door. Does anyone out there know how to get rid of ghosts in the machine?
