SYMPTOMS
When you paste a chart from Microsoft Excel into Microsoft PowerPoint, the chart's fonts are resized.



CAUSE
By default, all text in Excel charts is scalable. When you bring scalable text into PowerPoint, it loses between 0.25 and 1 point of size.



RESOLUTION
Because text scaling is an option, you can turn it off by using a check box. To turn off text scaling before you copy the chart into PowerPoint, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the chart in Excel.
 * 2) Double-click one of the text items.
 * 3) On the Font tab, click to clear the Auto scale check box.
 * 4) Click OK.
 * 5) Repeat steps 2-4 for each text item.
 * 6) Save your changes to the workbook.
 * 7) Copy the chart, and then paste it onto the PowerPoint slide.
