Missing data from linked Excel file

[Guest]

I am trying to create a presentation that consists of several different
products. Each product has its own Excel workbook and I would like to link
the data from Excel to PowerPoint so it will automatically update when I make
my monthly changes to Excel. I am following the directions on how to insert
a linked object; however, when I copy and paste special it does not copy all
of the data I had highlighted in Excel. How do I get all of the data onto
the slide? Also, is there a way to put a white background, as if it were a
bitmap, so it is easier to see on the template I must use?

All assistance is greatly appreciated.

I think this may help:

Format the cells in Excel to have the background color you want;
