I hope someone can help me. I have presentation on Monday,
and I'm really going bonkers with this problem.

Using Excel v.X SR 1 on OS X 10.2.4, I created a
spreadsheet with several charts.

On the same Mac, using PowerPoint X, I pasted these charts
into several slides.

When viewing on the Mac, the presentation looks great.

When I try to view the same PowerPoint file on PowerPoint
2002 on Windows XP Home Edition, most of the charts show up
as a Red X.

I tried pasting the charts as a Picture instead, the same
error occurs.

I'd really appreciate any solution, advice, pointers or
mystical chants I can try to make this work.

Thanks.

Try ungrouping then regrouping the charts before you move them over to the
PC.

I have had similar problems. I made a presentation in Powerpoint on
my macintosh and have a lot of graphs that were made either with excel
and then pasted in or using the microsoft graph program. When I try
to open the file in Windows all my graphs are gone and instead empty
boxes appear.

I too really need help with this. Are there any solutions out there?

Thanks,
Kate
