Hi Newsgroup,
A problem with Excel/Powerpoint is causing me endless frustration
and I hope someone can help!
My problem is this:
I have 1 column and ~520 rows with numerical data that I have
converted to color data (through conditional formatting). I want to
copy and paste this "block of colors" from Excel into Powerpoint as a
picture (or any other format that will work) and for the most part,
this is working as expected. HOWEVER, the bottom ~20 rows are
consistently missing!! I've tried everything I can think of inluding
Copy&Paste Special as an "Excel Worksheet Object," "Picture," and
snapped with the "Camera" function. The only way to capture all the
data is by Capture Page Screen (Function+Shift+4) but the image
quality is very low and don't think this will do for my Figure in
Powerpoint. Is there something I'm doing wrong or someway to get
around this problem?
Thanks!!
Bonnie
P.S. It seemed that someone in an earlier post had a similar problem
(see below), but I'm not converting from different versions of
Microsoft Office programs (they're all Office 2004 for Mac).

I have a similar, if not exact same problem.
My whole life (income) is generated from a ~10MB Excel
workbook created in Windows Office/Excel (last saved in
Excel 2002 running XP Pro). I made the big "switch" to a
new PowerBook G4 upgraded to OSX Jaguar. Installed
Office:Mac vX. Transferred big Excel file via burned CD
(and also tried via idisk. It regularly causes Excel to
unexpectedly quit ("with no damage to program or op
system"). When I can keep it open, I noticed many charts
missing (blank), while several others are there. It seems
that the 'combination charts' are missing (like a column
and line). I was able to re-create and save as a new
file, but many more charts to rebuild.
Suggestions? (I will send MS a help-generated message.)
P. S. I also get some blank charts in large PowerPoint
files transfered from Windows. These charts were all
pasted in as "paste special/pictures".
