Paste Excel Table Comes Out Blurry

Question

When copying a table from Excel (5 Rows x 4 columns) and pasting into Powerpoint the image is blurry.  I've tried Paste Special/Bitmap, Picture (Ehanced Metafile) and Picture (Windows Metafile).

I've tried to apply similar solutions that were mentioned for Word, but cannot find the option to not compress the pictures.

Any help?  Thanks ahead of time.

Hi

The options for compression can be accessed once you've a picture in your presentation.  Select the image and the Picture Tools contextual menus will appear. The Format tab of this has a Compress Pictures button click it and there will be an Options button in the dialog it displays.

Compression only happens when you tell it via this command or on saving the file so the pasted Clipboard content will not be affected immediately.  Not sure what solution you've found.

Does it need to be an image? Normal copy and paste will give you a copy of the Excel table.  If you want to display filter buttons then you could embed the file with Insert Object, from File.
