Copy Paste settings?

Brian Lynn

Is there a place in PPT I can adjust the defaults of copy/paste? Specifically
I want to change Paste so that it keeps the "source format" as the default.
This would cut tremendous amounts of time out of my daily reformatting of
client PowerPoint...

Unfortunately, there's no way to change the default paste behavior.

Wow... that is really frustrating... Is there a way to turn off the "smart"
paste in PPT2K3 then? Is there a way to shut it down so all I get is what I
copied? Because this "Keep Source Formatting" little tab is just bogus...

Thanks for the info Echo, and thanks TAJ for responding... neeto tool but
doesn't at all apply to this issue.

If you want to strip all the formatting, use the tool TAJ suggested.

To turn off the paste options button, go to Tools|Options|Edit and turn off
the "use paste options" setting.
