Formatting excel chart in powerpoint -- size scales are blank

N

nicla.nuzzo

At times when i copy an excel chart into powerpoint and want to resize
it, the size scales are blank (height/width). I click on reset which
shows me 100%, but if i need to go back and resize it again it goes
back to being blank. It happens sometimes. Have Office XP, and tried
everything i can possibly think of -- paste special, linking, and
nothing works. Hope someone has encountered this same problem and has a
solution if there is one.


THANKS

For re-sizing the best option is to copy as a picture:

1. select the area of the worksheet you want to copy
2. while holding down the SHIFT key, pull-down File > Copy Picture
3. go to PowerPoint and paste the picture

Because you now have a picture in PowerPoint, you can re-size it just like
any other picture.
