PowerPoint Chart Text/Font Issue

[kubanvz]

Hello.

I have a problem with charts w/in a PowerePoint slide. After I have created the chart and go back to slide view, the text within that chart, the numbers on the x and y axes, the title, legend, value labels, all of it, appears to be bolded and squished together. Totally unreadable. While I am editing the chart, the text looks fine. I have reinstalled office, and installed svc pack 2. I am using PowerPoint 2003. The other text, outside of the chart, looks and behaves normally. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Matt

kubanvz,
Try creating the chart in Excel, get it exactly the way you would like it to look, then Edit, Copy, Edit, Paste Special, Picture into PowerPoint, or Edit, Copy Picture, Edit, Paste. If you don't need to edit it after it is placed into PowerPoint this should work just fine. If you do, edit the Excel file, then copy/paste as needed again.

Hope this helps.
