When I try to paste text from Excel as a table into Powerpoint the data does
not paste. The data original in Powerpoint. I copied it into Excel to create
a table. When I try to paste it as an excel object the text doesn't populate
the new table. The same applies if I Select Past Special and HTML. The text
does display if I select Paste Special and RTF or Bitmap. Does anyone have
any ideas.

Hi Rocky,

I'm not an Excel expert, but did you paste the data into Excel as a link?
If this is the case, then the logic is circular (which gives silicone based
intelligence a migraine). In other words, it is copying the information
from PowerPoint to Excel and pasting the same information back in a circular
loop.

If this is not the case, please post back with some additional information
What versions of PowerPoint & Excel?
How did you paste the information into Excel?
