Why does the date change in a Powerpoint chart, when copied from E

S

Hello,

Does anyone know why a date copied from excel or another powerpoint data
table to a new powerpoint data table changes? Every year at budget time ...
this feature in powerpoint makes me crazy.

Example,

I am copying a range of values from excel to a Powerpoint chart data table
for a budget presentation. The values are 1/31/06; 2/28/06; 3/31/06 ...
12/31/06

When they copy they show up as 6-JAN; 6-FEB ... etc.

When I reformat these, the dates are 1/6/2005, 2/6/2006 ... etc.

I have the same problem when copying from powerpoint data table to
powerpoint data table.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Regards,
Sandra
