SYMPTOMS

If you insert a Microsoft Project Gantt chart into PowerPoint, beginning and ending columns or rows may be missing. If you resize the object or try inserting the same object again, the results are the same.

CAUSE

Microsoft Project can only copy to the Clipboard the information in the current window. Therefore, if more than one screen of information is selected, only the information on the screen at the time the Copy command is executed is copied to the Clipboard.

WORKAROUND

Reduce the total size of the Gantt chart by reducing the text size. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. In Microsoft Project, click Text Styles on the Format menu.
  2. On the Item To Change list, click All.
  3. Click a smaller font size. Click OK.
Reduce the font size until the entire project is visible at once. Now if you copy and paste the Gantt chart into a PowerPoint slide, it appears in its entirety.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
