I have an issue when displaying a HTML table in PowerPoint that I
don't know how to resolve, and am a PowerPoint noobie.

When I view the page in MSIE it looks fine, but when I click the link
in a Powerpoint presentation it is distorted - see here:

I have altered the member data but the display differences are
evident. Why does PowerPoint do this? Am I able to change it?

Thanks,

What are the *exact* steps you've followed to bring the table into PPT?
And if you have the "dummy" table available on the web, please do post a link
to it so we can test as well.

The table is NOT in PowerPoint.

On an index slide I have an hyperlink to take us to the HTML page
which it does.

The HTML page is here at normal resolution with corrupted personal
details.

I added that URL to a hyperlink at this end.
The last time the browser had been open, it was at full screen.
It was closed when I clicked the link and reopened at full screen with your table
filling the browser window.

I shrunk the browser window a bit to give an effect something like your distorted
version ... not so much distorted, it seems to me, as just doing what browsers
normally do with a table set to full window when the window gets smaller ...
introducing line breaks and such.

Closed the browser, clicked the link again and the browser opened up at the same
size as it'd been at when I closed it, with the same result. Line breaks and all
the rest.

Is that what you're seeing?

PowerPoint's not doing anything to set the browser window size, and there's not
much you can do to force the issue, I don't think. Other than finding somebody
who really knows CSS to redesign the table/page layout.
 
Thanks Steve,

I found a work round for the problem.

I made my screen resolution 800x600, produced the HTML page, returned
to my higher resolution and then remade the hyperlink.

All is well.
