Images embedded on PC don't appear properly on Mac

Hi

I'm trying to open an xls sheet created on the PC using Excel 2004. The sheet contains an image copied from MS Project.

Using Excel 2008 on OS X 10.5.6 ( with the latest patches ), I cannot see the image properly. It appears blurred or in low resolution. Is this a known bug ? Is there any workaround to this ?

Regards
HMW

Don't know that there's any specific known bug - what kind of images are
they?

Not sure how it was created, either - XL 2004 is a Mac version, not a
Windows version.

Oops, that should be Excel / Office 2003 for Windows. The image was just something copied to clipboard from MS Project and pasted into Excel 2003 / Windows

I opened the file in NeoOffice and it displayed fine. So perhaps there is some rendering issue with embedded images ?

Also, I get a few lines in the console ...
" Microsoft Excel[1059] <Error>: CGBitmapContextGetData: invalid context "
