Stop Power Point from Resizing Embedded Objects

Hello,

I have Word tables embedded in powerpoint. (Why? Because I need equations
to appear in the table cells and this can be done in word tables, but I can't
figure out how to do it in powerpoint...the table and the equation always end
up as separately embedded objects).

I requently need to edit the embedded tables (to change th equations
slightly). Everytime I do it (by double clicking and editing), it changes
the size of the table to 90x200% of orginal. Every time, I have to go back
and resize them to 100x100.

Similarly, powerpoint resizes excel graphs when edited to add new data.

is there ANY way to fix the sizes of objects and edit them without having
powerpoint resize them?

Thanks much.

Tom

This is a very good question. I find that it not only resizes it but
totally distorts it, shoving some elements out of view and making it
all messed up. I hope someone answers it.

I'm having a similar problem. As a patch, I have turned off automatic link
updates and only update when my spreadsheet is open and sized properly.
Seems like there must be a better way, but this is all I have found so far.
