Pasted Metafiles - making font size consistent
Pasting charts, graphs or model summaries as enhanced metafiles is commonly believed to be best practice.
One issue I found is that adjusting the shape of each pasted image will inevitably adjust the font size of the numbers. In order to ensure that the image is in the right shape and the font size is consistent, I always have to go back to Excel to reformat, which can be time consuming when you need to crank out 50 slides.
Does anyone know a way around it?
I hope someone else has a better way to get around this, but I have just measured the size of the space in PPT then gone to Excel and adjusted column widths/heights while in the Page Layout with the ruler viewed.
I can then create something in Excel that is exactly 1" by 2". Or whatever.
The other way to do this is to 1) link charts 2) embed them directly into the slide. Yes, that's frowned upon for multiple reasons, but it does keep things relatively consistent.
Hope someone else can weigh in here with a best practice I've never heard of.
