Linking Excel charts to Power Point slides

[Guest]

When I copy a chart from Excel and and paste it as a link to a Power Point
slide, the text/numric data in the chart is compressed together on the Power
Point slide. I've never had this happen before. Can you help?

Can you explain what you mean by "paste it as a link"?

Also, maybe some of the stuff at http://www.echosvoice.com/charts.htm will
help.

(I think I had a non-PowerPoint problem that I believe was interferng with my
ability to put charts into Power Point because now I can do it without any
problem. I had two wireless network drivers and since I've disabled one I
don't have a problem anymore.)

However, I will explain the process I've been using:
With a chart (created in Excel) and a Power Point slide both open, I will
right click and copy the chart and then go the the powerpoint slide.

In powerpoint, I will Edit, Paste Special, Paste Link.

I think I'm okay now. Thank you anyway.
