Copy / Paste Special

When I copy a portion of an Excel spreadsheet, then switch to PowerPoint and
select Paste-Special, sometimes I get a short list of 3 ways to paste the
coped data (HTML Format / Formatted Text (RTP) / Unformatted Text), or
sometimes I get a longer list, which contains the "Picture" option (the
option I usually want).

I don't know what is causing this difference.

How can I ensure I always get the long list of paste special options?

Thanks for your help ...

Bill,
Don't know if it will help but, in Excel select your data, hold down the
shift key and choose Edit - Copy picture. In Powerpoint you will be able to
paste as a picture. This works for me here, hope it does for you too.

Luc,

So far your suggestion is working 100% of the time. Perfect solution. This
problem was really holding me up. Thanks again.
