Compressed fonts in charts

[RVJones]

I'm trying to find out why the fonts in my charts are compressed. I've tried
regenerating the charts and everything looks okay until I close the chart.
When I look at the slide, letters are squeezed together and it's hard to make
out the word. The object is set at 100%. Half of the slides are okay and the
last ones are not. Does this have something to do with using two different
computers to generate the presentation?

Hi,

Dunno, but would love to know. I have been sent an example but I can't
replicate it myself. What version of PowerPoint do you have?

Hi,

That is what I thought! Can you send me an example, please? I want to send
it to someone for a look. Also, what fonts you have used and Windows
version.

Did you resize the chart after creating it? If so, did you just click on the
chart and resize it, or did you double click on it and resize? Also, do you
have the fonts set to "auto scale"?

No, I avoid resizing the chart because I thought that was the reason the
fonts were being compressed. I also turn off auto scale so that everything is
consistent throughout the presentation.

I'm new to this. I'll send it to (e-mail address removed), correct?

 

[Glen Millar]

Hi,

Yes. But the reason I coded my email address as such was to prevent having
my email address listed in the newsgroup so I don't get target with spam!

Glen made 5 of your charts available and if I open the charts on slides 3-5 and
drag a corner handle just a tiny bit, it seems to correct the fonts. Have you
tried that?

 

[Sonia]

More info: If you open the presentation, open a chart and then close it (no
changes made), it corrects the problem. In the process it scales it to 101%.
You do have auto scale set for the Chart Area. You say that they were created
on two different systems. Do both systems have the same versions of Windows and
PowerPoint and do the both have the same display resolution?
