Can't see all Excel columns when inserted into PowerPoint

E

ERM Oshkosh,WI

I am trying to insert an Excel workbook into Powerpoint (both 2000 versions).
The files pastes onto the PPT page, but I cannot see all of the Excel
columns, the right-most two columns do not show. Here's what I've tried:
1. From PPT, inserted Execl file as an object. Double-click the object to
open the workbook, drag the side bar past the columns that I want to see.
Click out of the object and it does not continue to show the right-most
columns.
2. Tried setting the print area and doing #1. Same result.
3. Tried to copy from Excel and Paste into PPT as image and as object. Same
result.

Any ideas on why my right-most two columns will not show? For what it's
worth, I have 12 columns.

Thank you.

If you're not going to make any changes in it try pasting it in as a "picture".
