I would like to design a slide that shows two pie charts of the same size side-by-side, but with a single legend that is centered on the page beneath both charts. I can easily create one of the pies with a legend on the bottom, but the problem is when I delete the legend from the other pie, the pie increases in size.
Any ideas for accomplishing this in Excel and/or PowerPoint
Does anyone know of alternatives to the MS Office suite? We used to do this easily in Harvard Graphics, but it's not fully compatible with the latest Windows.

As a sidebar, you may want to reconsider having two pie charts for side-by-side comparison. There's a lot of info out there showing that people have a very hard time comparing angles on adjacent pie charts. You may be better suited to have side-by-side bar or column charts, or consider something like a bump chart to compare to sets of values. Here's a great example: http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/funny-conclusions-from-a-dual-pie-chart/
