Tushar,
'Cuz Brian doesn't like that method (vbg). Steve Rindsberg likes it so
I can never agree with anything with Steve so I don't like it (g). I
find Links fragile unless I control all computers and even if you
ungroup the chart to break the link, I found that also fragile till I
gave up doing it. Maybe just anecdotal bias.

Hope to see you in March.

I am creating graphs in excel and then copying them to Powerpoint, the
problem is that both the Excel workbook and the powerpoint document are
increasing dramatically in size.

I have copied 27 charts to powerpoint and the document is now 63MB big and
the Workbook is now 32MB.

It seems as if the charts are somehow becoming huge (in terms of size)

What can i do

Brian did not mention my favored approach.

Copy the chart in Excel. Then, in PowerPoint, use Edit | Paste Special...
and choose the 'Link' option.
