Pasting Visio Objects

[Rich Kooyer]

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I have a Visio Org Chart that I copy-n-paste in to a PPT by selecting all
and pasting. Some of the boxes have names and a phone number typed in next
to them. They show up fine on the screen and again in the Print Preview
mode. The trouble is printing. Some of the last digits on the phone numbers
are partially cut off. (eg. a last "1" shows the left part of the digit's
foot) This only happens when you print. Printing to a PDF shows the
characters fully but printing the PDF document still cuts off the text.

There are no problems printing it from Visio. All of the text shows in
normal view, print preview and after you print the document. It seems to be
a problem in Powerpoint exclusively.

I have stopped the print spooler, restarted it, uninstalled all printers
except MS Document Imaging and Adobe PDF. I reinstalled the print drivers
and attempted the reprint and it still cut the numbers in PPT and the
converted PDF.

Any chance that anyone else has had the same issue or need more details from
me? Thanks in advance to the extended community.

I am also having a paste problem with Visio. We use PPT to generate our
reports. I have multiple images that have to be precisely sized and labeled
into the same slide. I do the labeling in Visio (management doesn't like to
PPT text box labels). When I paste one complete, sized, labeled Visio image
into PPT it is resized and rearragned when I paste the next Visio manipulated
image into the slide. The 2nd image is also resized and rearranged. Plus it
adds a slight white border to the image which is also infuriating. I saw an
earlier post mention OLE (object linking and embedding) and am wondering if
this is the root of my problem.

This is a great resource and I appreciate any suggestions that the community
can offer.
