Does this mean that my content should be formatted the way I want it to
look
in Excel first so that it looks how I want it to look in Powerpoint? So I
should program it into my Excel macro to make my content look pretty, then
program the copy and paste into PPT?

Exactly. In my experience, content from one program looks best in another
program if you minimize how much the parent program has to tweak it. So,
yes, make the graphics pretty enough for PowerPoint in Excel, so the most
you might need to do in PowerPoint is scale it to fit (and try to keep
scaling to a minimum, say between 80% and 125% of the original). And for all
the reasons cited, I prefer using CopyPicture + Paste over Copy + Paste.
