Embedded Excel Chart in PPT

[Guest]

I have a PPT presentation with a small embedded chart. After I work on the
chart, I click somewhere else on the slide to accept the changes. When the
chart embeds again, the font is alot bigger and mushed together/unreadable. I
think this may be a problem more with the computer than PPT since other
computers can do the work without the formatting problem. Any Suggestions?
Thanks

http://www.echosvoice.com/charts.htm See #2 and #3 especially, and if you're
using a wide screen display, it's probably a video driver issue so you'll
want to download and install the latest drivers for your video card.

I'm sorry, I said chart, but I meant worksheet. I have an embedded worksheet.
Nice baby picture though...

Ah. Well, the same things apply with regard to making sure the worksheet is
sized to 100% x 100%. If the proportion is off, the text will be squished.
Size to 100% x 100%, then open and resize while the worksheet is "active."

(Liked that baby picture, did you? LOL!)

I found out that the problem was we have two monitors, and it is extended to
one big monitor display. If I take it down to one monitor, or clone displays,
it works just fine.
Thanks for your help

Oh, how very strange. Thanks so much for letting us know! That's certainly
one I've never heard of before....

When you think of it, it makes sense though.

A single desktop extended to two monitors is, for all intents and purposes, a
wide-screen display.

Sure startles me every time I do a PrintScreen and get two monitors worth
stitched together. <g>
