Pasting as "Link" or "Embedding" from Excel to Powerpoint

[Abhi]

Hello,

I come across a lot of situations where in I need to link data (A range of
cells from excel or charts) into Powerpoint and then have them automatically
updated as the information chages in Excel.

The problem which I always face is formatting. Once the paste the
information into Powerpoint (using the "Paste-special" method") Powerpoint
automatically rezises the object into a smaller size and distorts the font.
Also when the information is updated in Excel and I say update links in
Powerpoint, the object is resized and the fonts are also distorted. Can
someone please let me know how to prevent this from happening?

Without any indication of what version of Office you're using it's a bit
difficult to offer a meaningful suggestion. The description of the problem
suggests that you're using Office on a PC but you've posted to the group for
Mac PPT. If that's the case you'd do better to ask in a group for Windows
Office which you'll find here:

Regardless of whether you post there or reply here, version information is
always essential in any request.
