I posted a message a few minutes ago on this same
subject.  The problem I'm having is that I'm pasting
something from Excel that has a few autoshapes in various
colors and text within those autoshapes in color too.  
When I paste these items over to powerpoint, as a picture
or as a excel object, only the color of the autoshapes
shows up in powerpoint. All of the colored text I had in
excel is changed to black.

Any ideas?
