Linked Excel sheets display incorrectly when animated

When I link to and Excel worksheet, the text displays as expected in the edit
mode. Also, if I run a slide show containing such linked objects the text
looks fine.
The problem comes in when I try and animate any one linked Excel object. As
soon as I do that all inked spreadsheets display with an extra black border
(shadow?) added around the text. This garbles the look of the display, for
one thing, but it also causes other types of damage. One example is that I
have some text in Excel conditionally formatted to become 'white-on-white'
under certain situations. That works, but when any Excel object on a slide
is animated, this text appears with a black 'stencil' edge around the
otherwise invisible text.
Any way to stop this behavior other than to not animate any Excel objects?

Well, yeah. That's the point. Is this an unavoidable flaw in PP?
