I have been using PowerPoint 2003 SP2 to create documents that track what I'm
doing on my PC. Basically, I use the Alt + PrintScreen keys to capture
what's on the screen and then paste it into PowerPoint, then crop the edges
that I don't need and then reduce the size so that I can fit maybe 2 screen
shots to a page. Strange thing is, the first image will allow me to "delete
the cropped areas" when I try to permanently remove the cropped areas, but if
I attempt to do this with any other images in the file, once I hit the OK
button, the entire image returns as if I never cropped it! It's driving me
buggy and preventing me from doing work that I need to do! Does anyone know
what's wrong? It seemed to work fine about 3 weeks ago, but now it doesn't.
I tried it at home and I get the same issue there, so I'm wondering if a
recent patch might be the problem. Ideas anyone???
Thanks!

Had this problem with CMYK images. Try converting images to RGB, then
importing.

Had a quick try here but couldn't reproduce this.
Try changing your Tools, AutoCorrect, Automatic Layout setting for starters.
Then let us know whether you're pasting multiple images onto a single slide or
pasting to sequential slides, one per image, and what layout you're using.
