RE: powerpoint

Hi John, thanks for the query. Copying and pasting material from one presentation to another is fraught with problems, because the formatting of the incoming material will be overriden by the formatting applied by the destination slide master. The best way to achieve this is to click on "Reuse slides from file" in the "New Slide" dropdown, and make sure the "Keep Source Formatting" tickbox is ticked when you have navigated to the source presentation. Then you can just double click on the slide you want in the preview panel and it will be brought into Powerpoint with its formatting preserved.

Hope this helps,

Anthony
