"copy-paste" malfunction

[Saurav]

I am currently using the PowerPoint 2007 beta version. I have noticed that
after a recent update, I am not able to copy and paste anything to the
powerpoint presentation. Also, the powerpoint has started to run very slow
after this update...does anyone else has noticed similar problems?

I have not noticed these particular issues. I do have problems with copying
and pasting and other odd things now and then, but a reboot has always taken
care of it.

You might try changing your hardware acceleration -- knock it down some and
see if that helps at all.

Are you running any antivirus software? Especially if it's Norton/Symantec,
you will want to disable the Office plug-in.

Have you tried running the diagnostics? They're in Office Button|PPT
Options|Resources.
