Cannot paste graphs / OLE Objects from Excel

[Bashu]

Hi all

I am using MS Office 2003. I have created some Charts in Excel. When I try
to copy them and paste into Power Point, I cannot see the objects, just
disappears.

No error message of any sort. Tried to re-install MS Office package, did not
help either.

I will sincerely appreciate any tips / ideas how to overcome this error.

PS: I get the same response from MS Word as well.

Thanks and best regards.,

Oh, "Red X" is a different problem. See

Here is the right problem description:
"You open a PowerPoint presentation and find that all of your graphics have
been replaced a blank rectangle with a small red x icon in the upper left
corner."

But, just as an information, when I access the Terminal server using Citrix
connection and use the Power Point avaialble in the Terminal server it works
perfect from my same PC.

Also I am trying to think how to reproduce the problem. Only thing I can
remember is I installed the Power Point templates that I imported from the
Microsoft site. Now I have uninstalled it.

Still suffering...........

That was the first thing suggested ... before we knew it was a red X.

Hi again

Yes, thats' true, I have tried with the HW acceleration without any positive
result.

Since I work heavily with processes and I am totally handicapped.

Anyway I appreciate all of you who are helping out!!!

I can't think of what the issue might be. Have you installed the latest
service pack for Office 2003? (I think it's SP3.)

Ok, I went for the final option. Re-install Windows from scratch... Back in
business now...

Thanks for your support.

Wow, that's a drastic measure, but it's really good to know that it worked.
