Thats what I have been doing but with office 2004 you could just copy
and paste... I thought I might have some setting wrong in excel....
When copying things to the clipboard there is a lot of negotiating going
on behind the scenes. The clipboard is part of the Mac OS (or Windows)
operating system. The clipboard has certain rules about what kinds of
things can be put onto it, and how they should get there during a cut or
copy operation. So things can be altered as the get into the clipboard.
When it's time to paste, the clipboard offers the pasting application
whatever it has, and the pasting application has to decide how to deal
with it. So again, there's an opportunity for change.
Using the clipboard reliably would include making sure your copy of
Office is up-to-date, as well as your copy of Mac OS (or Windows), and
also the receiving application, in this case Photoshop, should also be
right up-to-date. If any of the applications or operating system don't
mesh, there's yet another opportunity for variations in quality to occur
when using the clipboard.
By saving as a PDF you reduce the chance that anything can change. The
PDF is a vector rather than picture format, so the accuracy of
reproduction is likely to be much greater.
