Copying Colored Cells from Excel to Powerpoint

[pablobandito]

Office 2007: I have several Excel Spreadsheets that have sporatic colored
cells. It is not done by conditional formatting. Is there a way to copy
these colored cells from Excel to PowerPoint without losing the color shading?

Thanks for any help!!!

Try setting up a color printer and specifiying it as your default printer.

You may need to choose the Paste Options button after you paste -- or use
Paste Special on the Home tab to paste as Excel object. If it gets converted
to a PPT table, I think you'll lose the conditional formatting.

No - that didn't work. And they are NOT conditionally formatted cells.
Does anyone else have any thoughts???

Sorry, I misread. I thought you'd originally said they *are* conditionally
formatted. My apologies.

In that case, having the color printer driver *set as the default printer*
usually works. Hm.
