Excel Spreadsheets in Powerpoint cutting off

[Sharon]

I saw a couple of posts on this, but no solutions. I Just upgraded my
entire office to Office 2004, and now it seems that when users want to
edit an Excel object from a Powerpoint presentation (created in Office
X) that is more than 10 columns or so, it cuts off. We cannot create
or bring in Excel objects wider than 10 columns into newly created
Powerpoint 2004 documents, either.

The object comes into the slide the proper size—the resize handles are
larger than what is being shown. It is just that the rest of the
spread sheet is missing. I tried to paste in the spreadsheet, I tried
to bring in the spread sheet as a picture, to no avail. And I also
tried to resize the object from the format object window. Nothing
worked. The ONLY thing that worked was to go back to using Office X.
Then the documents were fine.

This is a MAJOR bug. We have many powerpoint presentations that we may
need to edit, and we can't do this in Powerpoint 2004. I saw
something on another post that mentioned that this issue was a problem
in Windows, and that XP fixed the problem. This was never an issue on
the Mac, and now it is. I will add that all my users are on Panther
10.3.5

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem; only 4 columns of the worksheet are
appearing in the powerpoint presentation. I have tried inserting and paste
special as suggested in the help files. Neither is effective.

Is there something that I am missing, or is this a programmatic flaw of
major proportions?

Thanks.

Try formatting the spreadsheeet so it'd print smaller (ie, set a smaller font
size, narrow the columns accordingly) and see if that helps.

That's pretty much what's needed on the PC.

Without more information, I can't make any other suggestions.
