Arial fonts : kerning problems

[jskang]

I often insert an Excel worksheet graph into a PowerPoint slide or word, then copy my data into the worksheet, format it and use this to get fine control of a table in PowerPoint or word.

I know that when you right click you can either:
edit: which lets you modify what cells are displayed and do simple edits
open: which opens the worksheet in Excel and you can do lots of things
properties: which lets you control the size borders, etc.

BUT- when I close it, even if I use the Arial font, I get an image bitmap with jagged and badly kerned letters.

Is there a way to get this to be finer resolution? Or to use the excel engine to display the text? Or ...

What I want is a PowerPoint or word result that looks sharper and better, not jagged and not badly kerned.

Thanks
