I came across this post today and although different it solved my problem.
I was copying cells from excel into powerpoint using the paste special
(enhanced metafile, windows metafile had the same issue). Frustratingly not
all the cells were pasting. Curiously pasting in other ways seemed to be fine.
I changed the printer and page setup and all of sudden it worked fine.
Hopefully this entry should help others with the same problem.
Thanks
