I have a macro to transfer Excel graphs into PowerPoint slides, which works
fine, but the pasted graphs (pictures) are (with original shape pasted across
teh slide. I would like them to get pasted into the "Placeholder" that is
automatically created on a new slide.
Anyone have an idea how to get this done?

Thanks in advance

Mats
