Paste Picture from Scrapbook, Office 2004 for Mac

I need to be able to paste complex figures I've created over the years
in Excel (charts showing data, plus custom legends and labels I
cobbled together) into Word documents, on a Mac. In v.X, the
following procedure worked fine: Mark an area, then Shift-Command-C,
then "As appears on screen", then Paste into the destination
document. I just moved to Office 2004 for Mac, and have figured out
that I now need to go through the Scrapbook. Fine. I now Mark an
area, Add the marked area to the Scrapbook, then Paste as Picture from
the Scrapbook into Word (or Powerpoint, or elsewhere in Excel; same
problem arises). The problem: with certain figures, generally those
that include two embedded charts side by side, a substantial region of
the picture comes out white, as if a white square had been overlaid on
it. Oddly, the blanked-out region seems to be limited to the right-
hand chart; other embedded objects on the right (my custom axis
labels, made of text boxes) so show up.

Example at http://www.msu.edu/~ema/scbug.xls. Open the document, open
the Scrapbook (if it isn't already), Add the marked area to the
Scrapbook, then Paste as Picture, say into that same Excel ***,
below the marked region. The result will be like what is on the
Finish page of the spread***.

I found a couple of instances of what looked like similar problems a
couple of years ago on these forums, but in one case it looked like a
page-size issue (which this doesn't seem to be), and in another case
there seemed to be no resolution.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Erik.
