I have some excel charts inserted into a ppt (2003) file that I inherited.
The charts are not proportioned, so the text looks splotchy on the screen.
Is there a way to force the ratio back to it's original? or am I stuck ...
having to play with them until they appear to look correct. Thanks.

Basically, right-click, choose Format Object, and on the Size tab, specify
100% x 100%. (Or specify something proportional if that's enough for what
you're woking with. Sometimes it is.) Then open the chart and drag the
handles to resize to the slide.
 
Well Echo,
What you suggested did help. It's kind-a wonky how it worked, but the
charts do look more legible now, than they did. Thanks for you help, once
again.

You're welcome. It *is* kind of wonky, you're right! Welcome to the
wonderful world of Microsoft Graph. (lol)
