hello,

I finally bought crossover for linux standard.
The copy-paste doesn't work after execute the "copy as picture" :
There is some options for this.
I tried, in excel, to copy "as on the screen" and save in bmp format.
Then the clipboard displays in powerpoint the item.
But the same error message appears ("the server application, the source 
file or the element can not be found or has sent an error. The server 
application will probably have to be reinstalled" ) when I try to paste 
normally (ctrl+v) in powerpoint.
I also try to paste with the "special paste, paste as such..." => 
"independent image from device (DIB)".
But the chart is not visible in powerpoint and nothing appends.
