Keep formatting?

[Erica]

I want to insert a slide from another presentation - along with its color
scheme. When I insert this into my current presentation, it recolors it to
that presentations color scheme. Anyway to prevent this from happening?
Thanks!

Click Insert > Slides From File.
Browse for your presentation, select the slide.
Put a checkmark to "Keep Source Formatting" and click Insert.

Alternately when you copy the slide from an existing presentation and paste
on another presentation, a clipboard icon will appear. Click on it and select
"Keep source formatting".

Does it work for you?

I am using PP 2000 and do not get the options you describe.

You may need to manually change back the color then, or export the slides as
images, then re-insert the image into the presentation. The print screen
button works as well. See if others have better ways to go around with this.
