Cut and Paste Question for an Excel Guru

[K B via OfficeKB.com]

Here is a question for a true Excel master.

I am having problems cutting and pasting Excel graphs/cells as pictures into
word or ppt. The problem is that Excel seems to cut off part of the image.

I am currently working in 2000 and I know I have NOT a problem cutting and
pasting very large cell groups/graphs in previous versions. I have just
spent the last 2 hours with my corporate help desk and they are stumped. Is
this a glitch in the software or is there a setting I can change? Help!

Try copying the data as a picture. Hold the shift key down, then when you
access the Edit menu Copy Picture will be available.

Have a look here for some hints with PPT

Thank you Damon,

I have tried copying the data as a picture. The site you referenced below
explains that copied images larger than the printable area will be truncated
(this is what is happening) however, I know in previous versions of Excel
this was not happening (I was copying large amounts of data and pasting it in
Adobe Illustrator for presentation purposes). This is still a bit of a
mystery. It sounds like this is an issue with 97 and newer versions. Let me
know if you have any further thoughts. Thanks again for you help!
