Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  .
  Incident Diagnosis
  Isometric View is copied in Powerpoint even if front
  view is copied.
  .
  Restriction Explanation
  This behavior is specific to "Paste with Link". In the
  APAR scenario case, the application (Powerpoint)
  does not copy the dead image that is copied in the
  clipboard but only copies its origin
  (CATIA/part1.CATPart) and asks CATIA to provide
  an up to date image with a default view point.
  Indeed, since user copies the image in the
  clipboard using CATIA/Tools/Image/Capture,
  should also have added a hole to the part for
  instance. If user then uses "Paste with link" option
  in Word or Powerpoint, application will ask CATIA
  for an up to date image (with default viewpoint)
  and insert a holed part. If user uses only
  standard "Paste", application will copy the dead
  (non holed image), which is first copied in clipboard.
  .
  Even after having copied the link, user may modify
  the part in V5, and in Powerpoint, ask to update the
  link (context menu on the image): an up to date
  image (with default viewpoint) will come replacing
  the old image.
  .
  The bug reported is a Powerpoint 2000 bug :
  Powerpoint 2000 uses the "paste with link" option
  as the default Paste behavior. This seems to have
  been corrected in Powerpoint 2003.
  Please note that this behavior is not restricted to
  Powerpoint application. Same thing happens also
  with Word 2003, but it is not the "by default" Copy
  behabior as for Powerpoint.
  .
  By-Pass
  1 - A by pass may be to use "Paste Special" and
  choose another option than "paste with link" check
  the "Paste" check box.
  2 - Another bypass is to copy in non bugged
  application (as powerpoint/word 2003, perhaps
  paint,... ) and recopy the image from this
  intermediate application in Powerpoint 2000.
