I have always pasted excel tables and charts into powerpoint as images, not excel objects. I prefer this for lots of reasons.

Problem : ever since I upgraded to Leopard and Office 2008 the excel tables appear "fuzzy" when I select "Paste Special" them as a picture into Powerpoint.

This is a bit of a deal-breaking problem for me. I'm the only Mac user at my company, but until now I was operating effectively with my co-workers. Need to find a fix to this one....any help?

Hi,

It does look crappy, doesn¹t it?

There¹s a new Paste Special option, which is PDF. That makes a very good
looking paste. Give it a try.
