unable to copy and paste color text as a (Picture enhance)

[Taranjit Singh via OfficeKB.com]

I am having problem whereby i cannot copy color text from excel and paste
special as picture (enhance metafile) to powerpoint. I can only see the
text color in black and white. I have tried on my friends machine but i
cannot do it from my own computer. I have install office SP 3 but it still
does not make any diference. I hope you guyss can tell mw what i went
wrong. it was working fine earlier.

Try setting your default printer to a color printer. It should make a
difference. (You don't really need to have the printer attached, just
configured.)

Hi Kathy,
I do not think that will work, the problem is not printing from powerpoint,
the problem is i am unable to copy color text from excel and paste special
as Picture (enhance metafile) to powerpoint. It will show black and white
text insteed of color text appears in excel.

It's worked for everybody else with the same problem, unlikely as it may seem.
But of course, if you don't try it, you'll never know if it could have worked
for you. ;-)
