Re: Paste Picture from Scrapbook, Office 2004 for Mac

Hi Erik,

As soon as I turned on my computer this morning I was prompted to install
the 11.3.7 update, so I did.

Then I tried the same thing again, but to no avail. I still don't reproduce
the problem. Our hardware is very similar, so it's probably not that,
although it's not identical so we can't completely rule hardware out.

Are you running any "haxie" programs (things that enhance how MacOS
behaves)? Are you running any anti-virus software? If yes, please try
turning them off temporarily to see if the problem goes away.

I'm grasping at straws here, so I hope someone else jumps in on this thread
and finds a way to reproduce the problem.

Hi Erik,

I tried to reproduce the problem on my Intel iMac, but was not successful.
Every copy I made was good. I did not see any unexpected white areas.

Was this using the scbug.xls file that I posted the link to? It
occurred to me that the problem might be related to this being a file
created in v.X ... but then I was just able to reproduce the problem
in file created by Excel 2004.

So let's be sure we're on the same page. Do you have the same version
installed that I do? I have all the updates. When I check the version of
Excel using the menu Excel > About Excel it says I am using version 11.3.6
(070618). If yours says something different then use the Help menu and check
for updates. If yours is the same, then maybe it's hardware related. What
computer and display do you have?

I did make sure I was updated, and am at 11.3.7.

I'm on an Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, 17" high-resolution screen (a
couple of weeks old).

A workaround seems to be to print the marked region to a PDF, open
that in Adobe, export to TIF, and paste that. Not so elegant, but may
suggest that the problem is not hardware.

Office v.X is still installed, since I migrated my account and
applications from the G4 tower I was leaving. Any stories of v.X and
2004 conflicting with each other?

In any case, many thanks for having a look.

Erik.
