Default Retaining format of Powerpoint text which is copied into Word

I have a large powerpoint presentation which contains a lot of graphics and a
lot of pages of text. I want to cut and paste the text pages into Word - but
when I do so I lose all the formatting - specifically the colour,
superscript, bold, italic formating.

Is there any way that I can successfully cut and paste text from Powerpoint
int Word whilst retaining the formatting. It could save me hours of
re-formatting!

Thanks in advance

When you paste into word is there not a "paste option" tag with "keep source
format"?

Unfortunately not - the options that are presented are by Paste Special a

Formatted text (RTF)
Unformatted Text
Picture
Picture (Enhanced Metafile)
HTML Format
Unformatted Unicode Format.

None of them seem to retain the formating - specifically the different
coloured font for differebt lines of text.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

No Not paste special. A button should appear when you paste that gives you
the option yo retain formatting

If you cant see it go to (in Word) tools options edit and tick the
appropriate box (some thing like show paste options)

Bizarre though it may sound, you might want to try:

Save as Web Page from PPT
Open the resulting HTML file in Word

I see what you mean - I had been using the Paste option from the Edit menu
rather than the paste icon. The word settings were already OK.

I live and learn! Thanks for your advice.

All the best

While youre "living and learning" you might want to look in the settings for
"smart cut and paste" (its in tools options edit as well)
