This annoys me, but so does when I want to copy EXACTLY the same text box in Powerpoint onto another slide... nope can't do that either.

Can't you import it instead... I thought it kept the formatting if you imported it, but then I can't recall if that's old/new office...

Edit: Like this.. http://www.addictivetips.com/microso...werpoint-2010/ << then you can edit it if you need to?


or here: http://www.powerpointninja.com/power...t-first-sight/ <- this is a great blog for tips & tricks!

And with the copying...do you mean it doesn't keep the formatting or you can't copy it at all? Can't say I've ever had the problem, but it might be to do with the source formatting as above?

I used to teach office to various level students from beginner to expert and I usually found that rather than the application not being able to do something, users didn't know how to do it and either went all around the houses to do something simple, or just assumed it wasn't capable. Not always, but often the case. I found that 2010 had more features and I found them a lot more accessible, compatible and useful once I got used to the new layout
