I was provided with about 12 different tables of information in .xls format
that I am supposed to include in a PP presentation. The first two tables are
from a survey and contain too much information to do a cut and paste. When I
cut and paste the charts, the print is too small and I can't figure out how
to enlarge it. I am a Power Point neophyte but can usually figure things out
with a little guidance. Thanks!

In Excel, turn off Autoscale on the chart fonts. (Right-click the chart
area, choose Format Chart Area, and on the Fonts tab, uncheck Autoscale.)

After you paste into PPT, you can right-click the chart, choose Format
Object, and size to 100% on the Size tab.
