Paste from Excel resizes and moves charts already in slide

[Guest]

I'm linking 3 objects in Excel to a slide in PPT. I have the first two for
the slide already in and put in the right spot and formatted the way I want.
When I Paste Special -> Paste Link the third in, the other 2 move around on
the slide and also are resized. I have to do this pasting for numerous
slides so I don't want to have to resize the existing 2 objects on each
slide. Any suggestions on why this is happening and how I can paste without
the other 2 objects getting messed up?

Thanks,
Denise

Go to Tools--> AutoCorrrect--> AutoCorrect as you Type tab and see if the
any of the bottom three items are checked. If they are uncheck them and see
if things work more to your liking.

Turning off AutoLayout should help.
