How do I crop an excel chart pasted in powerpoint slide using Office 2011 as I could w/2003?

[Amack021]

Using Office 2003 for PC or 2004 for Mac, I could copy and paste an excel chart onto a powerpoint slide and then easily crop away the white border so as to maximize the size of the chart on the slide. Now, using powerpoint in Office 2011 for mac, the crop tool is no longer available for use with an excel chart and so it cannot be maximized as much as it could previously as one is restricted by the borders of the chart, lest they hang over the edge of the slide, which causes problems when printing the slides. Is there another way to get around this? Or something I'm missing? Thanks!
