Paste two Excel bar charts to Powerpoint with the same title fonts/style ?

Hi there,

Am using both Excel and Powerpoint 2000.

I have two bar charts created in Excel. Both are similar charts, with
title font Arial 14, axis font Arial 10.

When I paste as these two as "enhanced metafiles" on to the same slide
in Powerpoint (1 chart on the left, 1 on the right). Very often, the
size/font will vary, quite ugly-looking.

How can I ensure that these two charts on Powerpoint have the same
font/style, that is title font Arial 14, axis font Arial 10 ?

Thanks a lot.

cheers

From your limited description it is hard to say what is going on here.
But, if it were my problem, I'd make a copy of the chart you like in
Excel and then just change the SourceDataRange in Excel to reflect the
data in the second chart.

Then copy both of those charts into PPT. Does that make them the same.
I'm thinking you have some font properties set to different sizes or
set to AutoSize in Excel.

You could paste them as Excel charts into PowerPoint then resize the charts
and text while in edit mode (doing this outside of Microsoft Graph distorts
the contents of the chart).
