Trouble pasting into PowerPoint

Question:

I have a 12 page schedule. When I use Copy all pages to PowerPoint, only 5 pages are copied. Then I get an error message: Trouble pasting this schedule into PowerPoint.

Answer:

PowerPoint has a limit on how complex an imported or pasted graphic can be.

There are a few things to try. Try these one at a time to determine which is causing the problem.

Eliminate the symbol highlights (3-D effects): Format | Frame/Highlights | Shadows and Highlights | Remove all highlights.
Eliminate gradient fills. If used for task rows, go to Format | Gridlines. Right click the title or column, choose Properties and set the Special effects to None.
If using bitmap symbols, be sure the bitmap symbols are as small as they can be. If you have a large bitmap that is being used for a symbol, it can often be made smaller with no loss of presentation quality.
