Has anyone else experienced this?

Using Office 2003. An Excel spreadsheet is formatted with fill colors and
font colors.
Copy the Excel data, go to PPT - paste special, Excel Worksheet Object. When
the object is pasted into PPT, all the fill colors are pasted but the font
color changes to black. If you double click on the object, it opens in Excel,
after closing the Excel object the font color changes to the same color it
was in Excel. I have tried this on 2 different PCs and get the same results.
If I do the same thing in Office 2000, the font color comes through as it
should.
 
As Echo says, this does sound odd, but it is true. PowerPoint uses the
Printer drivers (current printer) to deal with a lot of the screen
displays. She's right, install a color printer driver (no need for the
printer) and set that as the printer default when using PPT.
