Hello,
I am trying to link a Powerpoint Presentation to an Excel spreadsheet. I have copied a table in Excel into PowerPoint using the Copy Paste Special -> Paste Link feature. At first, this looks great. Updates I make to the Excel Spreadsheet automatically update in PowerPoint and all the formatting looks right.
However, after saving, closing, and re-opening the Powerpoint file, the Spreadsheet has been truncated. It is missing about 1/2 of a column and about 3 rows. I tried to update the link, and even to delete the table and re-paste the linked spreadsheet, and nothing seems to work. It doesn't appear to be an issue with the size, because I copied/pasted just a small table (4x2) as a test and it did the same thing.
Does anyone have any ideas for how to solve this?
Thanks,
Alan

I am having this exact same issue. When I restart my computer, the issue goes away. But after a day or two, inevitably comes back. Has a solution been found yet? Thanks!
Yes! It has to do with zooming. If you go into display settings and set the size of text, apps, and other items to 100%, it should fix the problem. I find that I use ctrl+scroll to zoom in and out fairly often. This apparently messes with the way Office products copy and paste into each other. Hope this helps!
Okay, thanks, I will give it a try!
You mean display settings for all of windows, not just within office applications?

Hi All,
I tried everything in this thread and nothing worked until I set the magnification zoom level at 100%. I've never touched this setting before, but I found it set at 200%. This setting is found under "Windows Settings"->"Ease of Access"->"Magnifier". Good
luck out there
