Powerpoint "Autoformat"

[Guest]

Powerpoint 2003 has this feature which moves and resizes objects when I paste
them in. E.g. if I have an object in the center of the slide and I paste in a
second object, powerpoint takes the first object, reduces it in size roughly
by half, and moves it off to the side. Very annoying. How do I turn this off?

(Annoying is a very tame word for this "feature")
