shrug-l: ArcMap 10 hiccups - in cut-&-paste from PowerPoint and Excel?

[Tan, Yurong (OIG)]

Thank you!  When ArcMap crashed and I sent in the automated crash
message, and in a few minutes I got this response which says SP2 has
fixed these problems --- it is kind of sweet.  Unfortunately I am not
ready for SP2 yet as dust has still to settle yet.  Thanks for the
response.

 

Hello,

 

You recently submitted a crash report that occurred while using ArcMap.
Based on your description of what you were doing, I can tell you that
this issue has been addressed in 10 Service Pack 2.  This service pack
is available for download from the web, where you will also find a list
of issues addressed in this service pack.

Description: selecting multiple cut-pasted pics from powerpoint in map
doc and it bailed out. By the way, there are lots of hiccups in
cut-and-paste between MS office (power point, Excel) and map docs.

 

If you have time, please explain to me in further detail what problems
you are seeing copying and pasting between Office applications and
ArcMap.

 

Thanks,

I've noticed those hiccups also. I am able to get around the problem by
saving the file as PDF. Then in my Adobe software of choice, that can
manipulate PDFs, I crop the image if needed and save as either a JPEG,
TIFF, or PNG depending on the image quality needed and whether I want
transparency retained.

I am using ArcGIS 10 (SP1) and I have noticed lots of hiccups in the
cut-&-paste operations from MS PowerPoint and Excel to ArcMap.
Sometimes, a cut-&-paste can bring over tables or pictures from MS
Office, but it dropped lots of formatting information or misformated the
pasted portions.  And in some other times, it does not bring anything
over at all from MS office, though this appears to happen when the
"cut-&-paste" is heavy (large chunks).

 

Does anyone have similar experience to share?
