Is this using a MAC to go from CellQuest to Word? If this is the case then it is a memory problem. Increase the base memory for each program. IF you have plenty then double it. Copy paste memory errors are cured in this fashion. I believe the same happens on the PC side as well. Many graphic inserts take a lot of memory. Try more more memory.

Hello All, We are compiling a HUGE report which consists of a lot of flow cytometry data: plots, histograms, and stats generated by CellQuest. Because the report is being written in Word, for a while we simply selected the items we wanted from CellQuest, then copied to the clipbaord, then pasted to Word. This seemed to work just fine for a while, until the document grew to enormous proportions... Now, it seems that sometimes when the Word document is opened, some of the plots appear as a big red "X", and no matter how the page is moved, closed, re-opened, the plot can't be seen. At first we thought somehow the problem was a PC-to-Mac thing, because some people are using one or the other and we're all connected by a network. It doesn't seem to be confined to Macs or PCs, so we've ruled that out. I searched the archive but couldn't find this exactly (much discussion of Coulter Elite software)--Has anyone experienced this? Is it the size of the document? Why does it happen intermittantly? Is there a better way of showing the data? I saw some reference made to other formats (eg GIF) but we've found the resolution is lowered when converting to these graphical formats. I am anxious to hear what thoughts are out there. thanks, Jeff Carrell Cell Biology Department Human Genome Sciences, Inc. 9410 Key West Avenue Rockville, MD 20850 (301) 610-5790 ext.2231
