Any advice?

Echo S said:Well, that's not exactly what I was asking, so if you do actually have
multiple masters in this presentation, try putting a different master as
first in the order in the list of master slides.
What happens is that there's this bug that sometimes causes a slide to
revert to the settings on the first master slide. It's possible that's what's
happening here.

Echo S said:That KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=226599) actually
discusses *opening* HTML files from PPT as opposed to copying HTML and
pasting it onto a PPT slide. There is a difference here. Opening a file
refers to using File/Open and then navigating to an existing HTML page. You
specified, though, that you're using copy/paste to get HTML content into PPT.
So this really isn't referring to the same problem as you're experiencing.
And honestly, I don't think there's an answer for you. PowerPoint isn't
designed to be able to accept pasted HTML and retain its formatting and
functionality. PPT can save as HTML (File/Save as/HTML or File/Save as
Webpage), and if you've saved a PPT file as HTML, you can then open that HTML
in PPT using File/Open and navigating to the HTML page. But copy/pasted HTML
won't really work.
Now, if you just need to show a webpage on a slide, you should check into

echosvoice.com is my site, and if you copy/paste it onto a PPT slide, sure,
the animated GIF will still work (because PPT supports animated GIFs). But I
don't even have any drop-down boxes, so I don't know where you're really
copying from or what you're talking about wrt pasted combo boxes and VBA
projects.
The upshot of it is that when pasting from a web page onto a PPT slide, some
loss of formatting and functionality is to be expected because PPT's simply
not designed to be able to handle pasted HTML.
