Format of slides change when copying and pasting from 2 presentati

[Guest]

Hi,

I needed to make a large number of changes to a PowerPoint presentation; I
divided up the work among coworkers; 1 person would take care of changes on
slides 1-10; another the changes on slides 11-20. We started working from
two compies of the same document. When my coworker was done I went to copy
and past his updated slides 11-20 into my document that had updated slides
1-10. However, when the I did this the formatting of the slides I pasted in
changed drastically: all the fonts and font sizes changed, some of the colors
changed too. This made the slides such a mess that it wasn't worth using the
work my coworker did. Any ideas on why this happened and what to do about it?

The slide master is being reapplied.
