Paste Special Enhanced Metafile

[Phil]

Just a quick query that is proving to be infuriating.

I have a pdf file that I need to copy in excess of 40 seperate charts/tables
out of and paste into Word/Powerpoint. From the pdf I am picking up the area
that is needed to be copied using the snapshot tool and then pasting as an
enhanced metafile into Word or Powerpoint.

However, colleagues have no problem with this process but there is some real
inconsistency on the availability of the enhanced metafile paste option when
I do it. For instance, I can snapshot the same graphic three times and on the
third attempt to paste as an enhanced metafile it works, but on the two
previous attempts I'm not presented with this option.

Is there a reason for this inconsistency and can I amend this somehow?

Many Thanks

Try using Snagit from www.techsmith.com (there's a 30 day free trial, though
it is well worth the money).
