I copy hundreds of excel charts into powerpoint presentations. I always use
"paste as picture".
I just got a new widescreen monitor. Now when I paste a chart from excel to
powerpoint, the chart is wider and taller than to powerpoint slide. I have
to shrink the image way down to fit on the slide by dragging the edges.
Normally, this would be no big deal to do once or twice a day. But this is
killing me to do it hundreds of times.
Anybody solve this problem?

thanks!

An update to the following:

The monitor is not the problem. I have a co-worker with the same problem,
but he got his new monitor a long time ago.

I noticed the problem started last week when I received a spreadsheet from a
out of town co-worker. That is when my friend here in town started having
this same problem as well.

So, something in that spreadsheet has caused this problem with all of my
spreadsheets. Any ideas?

Hi Spindog.

It sounds like your charts simply are too big already in your excel! -
Before copying try and make the chart smaller.

Microsoft office often save sizes as (cm/inches ..etc) so when you copy from
on place to another you will "always" (mostly) have the same size. (also
visually if you remember to use same Zoom-level)

Hope this is it.
