Default Bar charts - bars irregular size

I'm pasting bar charts (as pictures) into powerpoint slides. (around 300 of
them).

The charts are EXTREMELY tiny - font size 3pt (autoscale off!) - i've run
the excel gauntlet with axis truncating, fonts distorting etc. and have found
fixes for most of it. (after 300 charts, my aunt's cat would have found it!)

The bars (when they are correctly sized, are 1mm wide)

HOWEVER - one tiny (and potentially project flooring) glitch remain beyond
my reach:

The bars, once pasted, are completely irregular sizes - some as small as
0.3mm - in the same graph!

Soooooo - I have been forced to (wait for this) UNGROUP each chart on the
slide, and then MANUALLY select each bar ( ehm, 1,800 of them) and change the
size to 1mm!!


I've worked on this for around 14 hours. I'm tired. I would so very much
like some help. From someone.

Please?
