Excel charts in Powerpoint

[Greg]

When I copy and paste, even paste special excel chart, the
chart comes into the powerpoint slide distorted and out of
proportion from the excel chart. When I go back to excel,
the window has been resized. Any ideas on how to stop the
distortion in sizing??

There is anecdotal evidence that XL charts get messed up if the zoom
magnification is set to anything other than 100%. There was also some
version of XL that had problems with axis text getting
truncated/distorted. The latter was fixed with a support release. For
the former, set the zoom to 100% and then do the copy/paste operations.
Hopefully, that will help -- but there is no guarantee of success.
