copy and paste font distortion

[Gary Klass]

Does anyone know the past way to copy and paste charts from XL to Front
Page and PowerPoint?

Pasted as a picture in FP, the image loses any coloring in the Title and
some labels and gridlines often disappear. (using Windows 2000).

One helpful thing I've discovered is to remove the View | sized with
window setting before cutting. But still....

This is the best I've come up with:
under VIEW: chart sized with window
control-EDIT copy picture
check: as shown on screen (twice)
check: bitmap

Gary, Not sure about Front Page but for PowerPoint you can use
straight copy and paste in PPT 97-2000 or Insert Object XL file. In
PPT 2002 you'd want to use Paste Special (as XL sheet/book). Insert
Object is broken in 2002.

Gary,

I've seen font distortion before, but always in Excel spreadsheets that
originated on a Mac and were moved to a PC. They continue to use
"Geneva" as the default font, which to my knowledge has never existed on
the PC. Changing the chart fonts to something that's actually on your
computer (Arial, Times New Roman, whatever) will fix it.

As for pasting into PowerPoint, I always get the best result when I do a
Paste Special, and select "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)" as the format.
It also makes the PowerPoint file much smaller, as it doesn't drag all
the data along with the plot.
