SYMPTOMSIf you copy a three-dimensional (3-D) pie chart from Microsoft Excel and use the Paste or Paste Link command to paste it into PowerPoint, the chart printed from PowerPoint is different than the chart printed from Excel:
CAUSEWhen you copy a 3-D pie chart from Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Excel pastes a picture of the chart on the Clipboard. In this picture, all the arcs are described as a series of small straight lines instead of as smooth curves. When you paste the chart into another program and print it, the arcs are printed as though they are complex polygons rather than arcs. WORKAROUNDThese workarounds only reduce the problem. They do not completely correct it. Method 1: Turn Off the Chart Border
Method 2: Change the Angle of the Chart
Method 3: Use Ellipses to Smooth Lines
MORE INFORMATIONThis problem is not exclusive to PowerPoint (this same behavior occurs if you paste a 3-D pie chart into Microsoft Word for Windows or Microsoft Write). However, in Microsoft Word, if you use a Paste Special command followed by Paste Link, then the chart is printed much better than it is displayed. This is because when you print your Word document, Excel provides the print functionality for the chart, not Word. Additional query words: 8.00 power point powerpt winppt ppt95 ppt97
