Powerpoint Text from Excel Question

C

Colin

I am creating little reports in Excel (with Text Descriptions) and Copy/Paste
Special Linking them into Powerpoint. I'm finding that Powerpoint messes up
the text a little bit and I cannot figure out why. An example of this is
this:

Unweighted <---- This word is typed into the Excel Chart.
Unw eighted <---- This is how it shows up on my report in Powerpoint.

It is only a few places but my boss wanted me to correct it. Before I tell
him it cannot be changed, I was hoping someone could shed some insight. I'm
using an Arial font Size 8. Nothing special. I've tried printing it on a
black and white laser and a color laser and the results are the same.

Steve is correct about 8 points being a magic number. In addition to
his comments, try clicking Tools + Options and on the Printing tab
check the checkbox "Print at Printer Resolution". PowerPoint uses the
printer driver in places that only make sense to the PPT Dev team.
