Excel file doesn't fit or resize on PPT slide

[pointblank]

I tried cuting and pasting an excel worksheet into my PPT 2003. I
haven't ever tried this before, and the help menu just says to cut and
then paste. I do this, but it shows up on the slide, it doesn't even
come close to fitting. The worksheet, when printed by itself, fits on
a standard 8.5" x 11" paper with standard margins and using 8 font
overall, and in LANDSCAPE mode.

When I place it onto the PPT slide, it extends well beyond the bottom
of the slide. When I try to "shrink" it really does pretty much
nothing. I get the dashed lines making me think that I'm actually
doing something, but when I release the mouse the worksheet dimensions
have basically not changed, although it may migrate a little further
off the slide. I've tried resizing from the top and pushing it down,
and also tried from the bottom pushing it to the top...and of course
from the corners too...but no luck. What am I doing wrong? Also, can
I edit the Excel fields in each slide after their properly sized? With
each new slide I'd like to fill in more and more cells.

Thanks,
Pointblank

Instead of pasting, use Edit, Paste Special and put a checkmark next to Link.

Any Ideas on this one

when copying excel, try holding down your shift/then edit/copy picture.
then pasting it into ppt.. if that doesn't work you can try copy the
paste special as an embedded file.
