MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2007Pasting - losing formating between files
I have text in a ppt presentation (2003) and am pasting to Word and I've told it to "keep source formating" ... but it's not working. The font is different and the size is different ... spacing is different. Is it just because these programs don't integrate well. I sometimes run into simiilar problems between Powerpoint files ... where I say to keep the source formatting, but it doesn't. This isn't a rush request. Thanks. When you "copy" slides from PPT to PPT you must use Insert > Slides from Files to Keep Source Formatting. If you are pasting text only --PPT to PPT or PPT to Word -- Use Paste Special > Unformatted Text. Does that help?

The problem with doing that, is that it adds another master to the destination file ... so I then have to doctor the inserted master with the original master content, then delete what I don't want from the inserted slide. We canabalize from existing ... a lot! But it's bits and pieces, a lot of the time which is why I want the formating to hold. Pasting unformatted, works well - in word because the "painter" copies bullets and spacing - but in Powerpoint, that's not the case ... which makes "pasting unformatted" more of a time killer than I'd like.
