I often copy and and paste graphs from Excel into PPT, then ungroup it to be
able to micromanipulate and change all elements, and make all the various
final touches for presentation.. Is this possible to do in PPT2010? If not it
would be a good feature to add back.

2010 works the same way as 2007.

Cut the chart, paste special as EMF. Ungroup the EMF twice. That will get
you to a lot of parts and pieces, but it won't get you completely there,
because not everything will completely ungroup.

This process was worked fine in 2003, but it was utterly hosed in PPT /
Excel 2007, and it's no better in 2010. I hope it will be fixed in Office 15
(and we will be able to "ungroup to shapes" or something similar to how
SmartArt does it), but that's sure a long time to wait.
