Cut/Paste and Font size issue

[Guest]

I'm having a problem with font sizes when I copy and paste from one
presentation to another.

The slide has text boxes and a table (and other things...). There are
several different fonts and sizes. I used the 'Slides' display at the left to
copy and paste the whole slide.

When I paste into another presentation the font sizes are all bigger. The
resulting sizes aren't the same as those on the master or text box defaults
or from the original file defaults (as far as I can tell). I have no idea
where PP is getting those sizes.

I have also selected all the contents of a slide (Ctrl-A) and pasted into a
blank slide. Same behavior.

How can I get the target paste to have: 1) the sizes from the template, or
2) or the original sizes; 3) or just understand where these sizes are coming
from.

Or, how do I apply the sizes specified in the master to the new slides?
Especially if the new slide is using a BLANK slide master layout?

*SIGH*
You know, I rememeber a time when the cut/paste always seemed to work mostly
as you'd expect. What's happened to that wonderful feature? It sure seems to
have gotten really trashed. I can no longer figure out what it's trying to
do, even when I cut/paste with the same office app. *SIGH* I've seen behavior
that I'm pretty sure are bugs that weren't there before....

Works fine here but have you thought about using "insert>slides from files"
instead?

Did that answer the question / help?

So when you cut and paste, the font sizes are exactly the same? If so, do you
have any idea where the environment might be different? Are you on Office
2003?

I'll try what you suggest, but it still doesn't answer the issue that a
cut/paste within a presentation still has some kind of issue for me.
