Linking Excel charts to Power Point slides

When I copy a chart from Excel and and paste it as a link to a Power Point
slide, the text/numric data in the chart is compressed together on the Power
Point slide. I've never had this happen before. Can you help?
 
(I think I had a non-PowerPoint problem that I believe was interferng with my
ability to put charts into Power Point because now I can do it without any
problem. I had two wireless network drivers and since I've disabled one I
don't have a problem anymore.)

However, I will explain the process I've been using:
With a chart (created in Excel) and a Power Point slide both open, I will
right click and copy the chart and then go the the powerpoint slide.

In powerpoint, I will Edit, Paste Special, Paste Link.

I think I'm okay now. Thank you anyway.
