When I paste Excel graphs into Powerpoint my font for
chart titles gets smaller. My title font is 12 pt arial
and the charts are only 4" X 3" when they get inserted as
Excel charts in PPT. Is there any way to keep the font
size without having to edit them in PPT. Using Office
2000 and Windows NT.

Only thing I can think of is PPT's resizing the charts, and the font is
resizing with 'em.
resizing with 'em.
Right-click one of the charts and go to Format/Object. Do you have 100%
in the size tab? If you make the chart 100%, does that fix the text?
Also, in the chart itself, if you turn off autoscaling on the chart
font, does that fix it?

Greg,
As Echo says, if the chart is not sized at 100% the font size is going
to be the chartsize % x original font size.

So if you are going to be picky about font sizes either change the
font size in XL to the original font size divided by the chart size
percent and they will end up sized correctly.
Or use custom chart page sizes in XL and size everything to the right
font and size the chart to 100% in Excel and you'll be a happy puppy.

My XL graph is about 4" X 5" when I print it. All font is
12 pt arial. I want it to be the same size in PPT, and I
copy and paste as an Excel object and it gets reduced,
even though it says 100% in the format object dialog
boxes. I get around this by pasting as a picture metafile
and it looks fine, but I can't use the editing function to
change anything.

Greg,
Can you email me an example file done both ways including the source
XL file. I can take a look at it and probably answer this a lot faster
that way.
