how do I prevent text formatting changes when importing a visio f.

I have a Visio drawing with 150% horizontally expanded Arial text. When I put
this drawing into PowerPoint (either by cut-and-paste or by direct import),
the characters lose their "expanded width effect" and become standard Arial
characters with 150% spacing only. How do I get them to be horizontally
expanded in PowerPoint?

You probably need to paste the Visio diagram as an enhanced metafile. An
embedded image probably uses the regular metafile image type, which may not
support this text property.
