Font space expands after creating/editing graph in PowerPoint

[seaquist]

Hi,

I have created a graph in PowerPoint and when I click out of the edit
mode, the font spacing is expanded. When I double click on the graph,
it looks as it should. Any thoughts?

I've sent this to someone else and it's fine on their computer. I can
add tables, text boxes, etc. and the fonts appear correctly. I can
create the graph in Excel and there are no problems there.
Thanks,

Karen

Forgot to say I'm using PowerPoint 2002 with Service Pack 3.

You might want to see if the graph is sized proportionately. Right-click it
and choose Format/Object. What % are listed on the Size tab?

They are both at 100% and the aspect ratio is locked. I've set the
font so it's a fixed size and won't auto scale.

Well, nuts. I don't know the answer.

Only thing I can think is that it's a display issue since it seems to be
okay on your colleague's machine.

Wonder if updating your video driver or changing Hardware Acceleration would
help this at all? Might be worth a shot.
