I have a number of Excel charts and graphs in a PPT deck that I would like to
convert into pictures. I have the slides all set up how I like them. Is
there an easy way to do this without having to re-import all of my charts and
graphs, changing them to pictures instead of Excel charts and graphs?

Thanks for any suggestions!

One possible way is to use Paste Special.
In PowerPoint, right click on the chart, click Cut.
Then on the menu bar, click Edit > Paste Special.
Select PNG, click OK.
Does that help?

Select the graph, ungroup it then immediately regroup.
That converts it from an excel object into an MSDrawing object ... a WMF picture
for all intents and purposes.
