character spacing when importing from excel to ppt

[Sandra]

I am having problems with the character spacing when importing a chart from
excel to powerpoint. I read the suggestion of going to the wordart toolbar
and turning the "kerning" off but the wordart toolbar is greyed out and I
cannot use it.

Any suggestions?

In PowerPoint 2003, if you want to adjust the character spacing, you will
need to ungroup the chart (until it will not ungroup anymore).

Then you will need to convert each of the labels to WordArt. Then repeat
the conversion for each of labels.

This is not a fast or easy process and the chart will no longer link to the
data (no updates).
