Importing tables from Excel to Powerpoint

[Atri]

Hi!

I often import tables from Excel to Powerpoint using paste special and the
format Picture (windows metafile) in Powerpoint.

My problem is that the imported tables often get different border styles in
Powerpoint. I can have a table with for example 5 columns and for one of the
columns the border style can seems thicker than for the other columns in
Powerpoint. They have the same style in Excel. This is not a big problem,
but if anyone have a solution I will appreciate it. It is seems much more
proffesional if the columns-border are similar.

I use Powerpoint 2003 SP3 and Excel 2003 SP3.

I've seen this before; it's annoying.

Try right-clicking the object and choosing Format Object. On the Size tab,
set it to 100% x 100%.

Hello Echo!

Thank you for the advice! I tried it on 2 different slides. One of the
tables became perfect. The other one didn't change.

I shall try this each time I have this problem.

Bummer it won't fix it on both.

You might want to make sure you're always in the same View zoom (say, 75%)
in Excel before you copy.
