Default Copy/Paste Charts on slide

I'm using XP and when I copy and paste a chart on to the same slide (in the
hopes of having 2 identical charts side by side) the formatting for one or
both charts ALWAYS changes. How can I copy and past charts while preserving
formatting, sizing, etc.?

Default Copy/Paste Charts on slide

PowerPoint 2007

Try the following (it worked for me).

1. I launched a new Presentation.

2. Home / Slides group / click on drop down arrow to the right of New Slide
/ click on Comparison / slide number 2 should launch.

3. Go to where you chart was (mine was in an EXCEL 2007 file).

4. Click on the Chart / right click / select Copy.

5. Click back in slide 2 of PowerPoint Presentation / click in, “left hand
pane” / Home tab / Clipboard group / Paste / Paste Special . . . / select
Picture (PNG) / OK.

The picture comes in successfully on the left hand side of the window.

6. Now repeat steps 3 to 5 but when in step 5 click in the, “right hand
pane”.

You should now have 2 identical pictures side by side in slide 2.

Save the file if required.

You can see the results of the above at:-

Item number 103.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.

What is changing?

When you say you're using "XP," do you mean PowerPoint XP (also known as PPT
2002) or Windows XP? The version of PPT is the most important thing here, I
suspect.
