Microsoft Powerpoint - Embedded excel in PPT gives error message: There isn't enough memory to read worksheet

HI,

We are running Office 2007 standard.  I have an embedded excel file in a powerpoint.

I can't open the excel file anymore from the PPT and get the error message : There isn't enough memory to read worksheet.

Does anybody know a solution?

Cheers

Hi,

CAUSE :
 This problem occurs when there are too many fonts installed under Microsoft Windows. The exact number of fonts that causes the problem depends on the names of the fonts, and the location from which you installed them. Typically, the problem occurs when you install over 600 fonts but can be as few as 300.

RESOLUTION
If you have more than 600 fonts, you will have to reduce the number of installe...
If you have more than 600 fonts, you will have to reduce the number of installed fonts. Remove a few fonts at a time. Restart Windows after you remove a number of fonts to get below the limit, and then start Organization Chart.

NOTE: You can move these fonts to any other folder besides the Fonts folder in your Windows directory. Moving a font out of the fonts folder effectively uninstalls a font without having to delete it.

NOTE: When you remove the fonts, do not remove the following:

    * Arial
    * Courier New
    * Marlett
    * Symbol
    * Times New Roman
    * Tahoma
    * WingDings

Microsoft Office and other programs use these fonts. Do not delete or remove them.

If this does not work, then you may be experiencing problems with the Msoprefs.232 and the Msoclip.232 files. These are preference files and store data and settings for Orgchart.

These files are located in your Windows directory. Just delete them, and then start Organization Chart. It will re-create these files.

Hope this helps.
