MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Excel to powerpoint lose colored inks using paste special
In creating the presenatation shaded areas remain but red or blue inks revert to black and lose emphasis. I use paste special enhanced metafile M, Paste special's reason for existence is to remove formatting from the text being pasted. > In creating the presenatation shaded areas remain but red or blue inks > revert > to black and lose emphasis. I use paste special enhanced metafile I know this is going to sound totally off the wall, but the problem is most likely that your default printer is a black and white printer. What you need to do is to add the drivers for a color printer and install them. (You don't need the printer, you just need your system to think one is there.) Before you do the copy and paste, make the color printer the default printer. When you are done, change it back to your real printer. You should then get the colors you are looking for.

You can also add Ute's solution "in Excel, hold the Shift key and choose Edit from the menu. "Copy" will have changed to "Copy picture". In PowerPoint, use Edit - Paste special. Kind regards, Ute" Very cordialmente Enric SignatureEnric Mañas [MS MVP-PowerPoint] >I know this is going to sound totally off the wall, but the problem is most > likely that your default printer is a black and white printer.

I was copying cells from excel into powerpoint using the paste special (enhanced metafile, windows metafile had the same issue). Frustratingly not all the cells were pasting. Curiously pasting in other ways seemed to be fine. I changed the printer and page setup and all of sudden it worked fine. Hopefully this entry should help others with the same problem.
