Excel 2003 - cut/copy often truncated

[Dazed Gregg]

Hi!

I often work with spreadsheets of 4-10 columns and as many as 400
rows.

Lately (maybe since I loaded 2003, I can't remember) whenever I try t
copy or cut large numbers of cells I get the message:

"The picture is too large and will be truncated."

I used to cut and copy large numbers of cells in Excel for XP all th
time...can anyone help?

thanks!

Greg

I'm the same guy who posted the question...

...but here's the thing I've since figured out:

Even though I get that message, Excel still copies all my data to th
Clipboard.

do I need to be worried that there be times when it won't copy all th
data to the clipboard

Gregg -

The data will be copied fine. The problem is when you want to paste it
into PowerPoint, for example, or when you copy the range as a picture.
The PowerPoint FAQ has some info on this problem:
