Special Pasting Quattro Pro 9 file as bitmap, how to manipulate now?
The only way I could find to get a Quattro Pro 9 file into Excel 2002, with
gridlines and the exact diagram (property and house layout), was to copy and paste special it as a bitmap. Now that it's in Excel, I'd like to change some things in the diagram but the cursor, when over the copied part, shows as a 4 sided arrow (a compass rose with 4 arrows pointing to the N,S,E, and W.) and the actual cursor arrow attached to and on the SE part of this 4-sided arrow. This 4 sided arrow cursor can only move the copied part and nothing else . When I move the cursor off the copied part, it reverts back to being a normal cursor and has normal functions. Am I stuck with this bitmap section, and should be looking for another way to successfully import this file, or is there a way to un-bitmap it and convert it to a regular usuable file/diagram. I've tried opening the Quattro Pro file into Excel but couldn't get that to work. Any suggestions? jc |

Special Pasting Quattro Pro 9 file as bitmap, how to manipulate no
Hi,
I'm no Quattro Pro expert. If you goto the office setup you maybe able to adda quattro import converter. Try that one (you may have to save the file as an earlier version in QP if you have it) Also if you have access to QP9 try exporting the file as something else. If not and it is only a bmp then youcan edit it in paint or a similar program and then import again into excel. Or if you open the drawing toolbar you should be able to draw lines and things on top of the picture. BRW, why have you a diagram in QP9 anyway? -- Hope this helps Martin Fishlock, Bangkok, Thailand Please do not forget to rate this reply.
