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 Peter Barrett |

When you paste into word is there not a "paste option" tag with "keep source
format"? -- ----- Did that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html "Peter Barrett" wrote: I have a large powerpoint presentation which contains a lot of graphics and a lot of pages of text.

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?

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) -- ----- Did that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html "Peter Barrett" wrote: John 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.

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.
