pasting chart shows chart area, not the chart
Hi
this is sort of strange thing. There is a chart imported from another program with copy/paste. On one computer this results showing only the chart background. This is what it looks like. Looking closer: If you paste the chart as enhanced metafile picture it divides the chart in two parts: one is the chart area (background) anf the chart itself is placed to the right of the chart area. If you paste the chart without choosing format it is pasted as a picture. When ungrouping the picture it divides the chart as in the enhanced metafile picture only that the chart comes to the left of the chart area. Using a 3D chart the paste special choises include hardware independent bitmap (hope the term was translated correctly). using that format pastes the chart ok. Testing the same with 2D chart. The chart is pasted ok. Also using normal bitmap. Why does PowerPoint try to interpret the chart as a picture? and why only in one computer? (there are several that can paste the same charts directly copy/paste. only this one computer needs to use paste special/bitmap). There must be a setting somewhere, but I have not found it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you |

What version of PPT is on the one odd computer? How about service packs?
What program are you pasting from? Is it the same version on all computers? -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Pirjo" wrote in message ... Hi this is sort of strange thing.

Sorry I did not tell those basic things :/
All computers are running Office 2002 SP2. The program that forms the chart is a company special database and everyone is using the same source. I am not sure but I think the database is using MS Chart, since the chart type window looks like the one in Excel. Pirjo "Echo S" wrote: What version of PPT is on the one odd computer?

The only thing I can think is there's a setting or permissions or something
that's different on the problem computer. Try opening Excel on that system, creating a chart, copying it, and pasting it onto a PPT slide. What happens there? Do you see some of the same symptoms as you do when trying to paste from the database program? -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com presenter, PPT Live '05 Sept 25-28, San Diego http://www.powerpointlive.com "Pirjo" wrote: Sorry I did not tell those basic things :/ All computers are running Office 2002 SP2.
