I am building presentations in PowerPoint 2003 from scratch
using automation.  I have a dozen or so "template" slides
which are presentations each containing a single slide.  To build
the desired presentation, my program uses automation to
startup and instance of PowerPoint, creates a new presentation,
then uses the InsertFromFile method to insert certain combinations
of the "template" slides into the new presentation.  The slides
are added to the new presentation, however the formatting gets
lost.  When doing this interatively in PowerPoint itself, there
is a "Keep source formatting" option in the Insert From Files
dialog.  Is there any way to achieve the same thing when
using automation?  There is no "keep source formatting" argument
in the InsertFromFile method.  Is there an option somewhere else
that can be toggled to get this to work?

Thanks for any ideas,
-- TRW
