paste-linking annotating text boxes

K

K. Georgiadis

I'm trying to insert an Excel chart into a PowerPoint
presentation and link it dynamically. The data link is
not an issue but I cannot find a practical way to paste
the text boxes that were added to the Excel chart by way
of annotation.

Selecting and pasting the chart itself and the textboxes
as if they were separate objects results in a distorted
PowerPoint layout. Is my only choice to add the text
boxes anew in PowerPoint?

Select the chart prior to adding the textbox. The textbox then will be
part of the chart, rather than just another drawing object floating
above the worksheet.
