21-May-07

It used to be, when I would copy slides from one presentation to another,
upon pasting the slides, a small "paste options" button would appear, which
would allow me to choose to keep the source slide formatting, or use the
formatting of the destination presentation.

Problem: I no longer get that button that pops up, so Powerpoint defaults
to using the formatting of the destination presentation.

Question: How do I get that "Paste Options" button to start appearing
again.

( BTW, I've already made sure that the box is checked next to
Tools/Options/Edit/"Show Paste Options Buttons" so that's not the problem )

Not sure what version you're working with, but try this:

Insert > Slides From Files. Browse to find the presentation in which your
slides are locate.
Select the slides you want and check off Keep Source Formatting.

I had this problem awhile back, and it turned out an add-in called "set
default view" was causing the problem. http://skp.mvps.org/setview.htm (love
the add-in but missed the paste options button, so I had to uninstall it).

So, do you have any add-ins installed? Here's how you can check:

What add-ins are loaded?
