EMF/WMF capture fonts only in B&W

Hi I'm using Excel 2003 11.6355.6360 SP1, everything is updated.
Since yesterday, whenever i copy a table and then in PPT "paste special" in
EMF (or WMF) the fonts come out black, even though their original color was
not.
Other colors are kept.
Copying from word and pasting special EMF to PPT doesn't have this problem
which suggests that the problem has something to do with excel.

It's possible that this problem began after i did the latest windows
updates. (KB834707) (KB885884)
The computer is running XP SP2 Tablet

Mystery solved...simple bug...the color setting changes accoding to the
default printer used. i.e., if the default printer is colored than the font
keeps its color as its "pasted special" with EMF. if the default printer is
B&W that only the font (but not the background) gets B&W.
Again, this is only when you paste special from excel, not from windows.
pls open a bug for this...
