Formatting Excel Charts in Powerpoint

[Steven]

I have recently switched computers and am experiencing problems copying and
formatting excel charts in Powerpoint. I can copy them accross, but then I
can only move the table or expand them. What I used to be able to do was
manipulate the size of each column in powerpoint but this is now longer
available. I have tried pasting in with several different methods but nothing
seems to work. Any tips?

Previously i was just able to move the column widths within powerpoint once I
had copied from Excel simply by clicking on them and then dragging them to
the desired location. I think the Powerpoint on the new computer may be a
slightly older edition which could be causing the problem, though i'm sure I
have done the same on this version of powerpoint previously.

Hi Steve, with regard to the versions of powerpoint, the one i was previously
using was Powerpoint 2002, SP3. The one I'm using now is Powerpoint 2000 SP-3.
With reference to column widths, I was copying data from excel and copying
it into powerpoint. This came out as a table (no paste special was needed) in
powepoint and i was able to manually adjust the width of each column. Now, I
can only adjust the whole size of the table so all the columns have to be the
same size, whereas before i could have one column at say 3cm in width, and
then another (within the same table) at 5 cm in width.

Hope this explains the problem a little further??

Thanks for your ongoing support.
