When pasting a chart from excel chart sheet into a powerpoint presentation, the chart sheet in excel automatically changes from the settings that the sheet had to the sized with window view. Is there a setting that will prevent this from happening? Is this something that can be controlled by setting options?

Try embedding the excel sheet as an object in ms power point. To insert the object, use INSERT and select object by selecting the file (insert from existing files).

Thank you - you solution does avoid making that annoying change to the excel chart sheet - Since I have multiple chart sheets in the workbook that I need to use in the presentation, I will need to break the workbook into separate books to be ableto embed the charts separately? I would really prefer to be able to just paste the charts from the workbook and find out why this behavior happens...

In PowerPoint choose one of the new slides with a graph box. First size the box and next paste the graph. It will fit into the box. Is this what you want or is it another question?
Actually any box would be OK.
Good luck
