enhanced metafile in PowerPoint 2013

[News Bot]

Hi, I have recently upgraded from Office 2007 to Office 2013 and am having a problem when pasting a table of cells from Excel to PowerPoint.

I have always formatted the cells in Excel and copied to PowerPoint as an enhanced metafile. With PowerPoint 2013 all of my tables which used to be sized correctly now appear one and a third times larger than before (a table which used to paste

in as 12cm across now pastes in at 16cm across).

Having tested across the 2 versions of Office I have found I can paste into PowerPoint 2007 fine from Excel 2007 or 2013 but the problem occurs when pasting into PowerPoint 2013 from both either version of Excel though charts still paste in the correct size.

I have checked the size of the PowerPoint slides are still A4 size to match the settings I had in PowerPoint 2007.

I don't want to have to go through all my old excel tables, resizing them (there are a lot), do you know a way I can paste them in as the correct size in PowerPoint 2013?

Cheers
