Default Inserting "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)" onto 1-cell table

I can't reproduce that behavior, but this may help for you: Go to Tools
Options Edit and set the "Insert/paste pictures as" dropdown to "In line
with text". When you paste, make absolutely sure the insertion point is
inside the table, not next to it.

I have created a 1-cell table for the purpose of positioning a
PowerPoint slide within my Word document.

Table Properties:
Left alignment; 1" indent; no text wrapping
Row height is not specified
Preferred column width = 6"
Preferred cell width = 6"

When I use Paste Special (using "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)") to
paste the PowerPoint slide into the 1-cell table within Word, the
cell height remains the same (instead of automatically adjusting to
the height of the pasted picture). In fact, it doesn't appear that
the pasted picture is really being inserted into the cell (which is
what I want), but rather "outside" of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob
