disappearing bitmaps in worksheet
 

I have been using for the past year an excel worksheet to collate financial
data. This data includes text and bitmaps charts that are copied/pasted from
web pages.
This has worked very well up until a few days ago when i opened the file as
i do everyday, basically all the bitmap charts that I have pasted onto the
worksheet have disappeared but the text that has been pasted is ok, can any
one tell me why they have disappeared and if the bitmap charts are
recoverable?

In 2003 version I would go to ToolsOptionsView and checkmark "Show All"
under Objects section.
