SUMMARY
Charts may appear garbled when they are copied from Microsoft Excel version 3.0 for the Macintosh and pasted into a drawing application. All the text in the chart may be appear to be concatenated into a single line of characters or the chart may appear as a solid black box.

Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services at 425-635-7080 for a solution to this problem.

MORE INFORMATION
Excel 3.0 embeds PostScript comments into the chart information it copies to the Clipboard. This information conforms to PostScript specifications, but some drawing applications require a different format, so they misinterpret Excel's comments and the image is corrupted. This problem does not occur in painting applications or with earlier versions of Excel.
