That means that the objects in your file have been converted from Excel
objects to Calc objects and a new metafile was created from each
generated Calc object. Obviously the Calc-Excel import has problems with
your files if some of the objects now show "wrong" content. I don't know
a lot about our Excel import filter, so I can't say anything about the
nature of the obvious problem.

As I wrote, only the Windows Metafile is displayed now. It has been
written into your PPT file by the Powerpoint application to allow a
display on computers where no Excel is available and so it shows the
content exactly as you saw it in Powerpoint when you saved the file.

If the display looks bad though it is a problem of our Windows Metafile
import I assume.

In OOo1.9.x/2.0 you should always get this result, even when you convert
the objects to Calc because we changed our handling of OLE objects: we
always keep the original metafile until the object is activated.

I don't believe that, I assume that the Calc import filter has a problem.

Did you try a OOo1.9.x milestone? If it still doesn't work in this
version you could file an issue and attach your document (if possible
for privacy reasons). Otherwise I'm afraid we can't examine the problem.
