Multiple Slide Masters and Copy/Paste Problem

[NabilShuh]

I have a presentation with 2 slide masters (A & B). When I copy a slide which
has master slide B applied to it and then paste it directly after a slide
with master slide A applied to it, it automatically gets the slide A master
slide applied to it. Is there anyway I can stop this happening?

NabilShuh,
Once you have pasted the slide there should be a little icon called paste
options appearing just under the slide, click it and choose keep source
formatting. If the icon does not appear, go to Tools - options - Edit tab -
see if there is a check next to show paste options buttons.

Thanks is there any way to set this by default?

Luc, I am new at using PP. When I receive a PPPresentation in an e-mail, how
can I stop or pause the presentation to copy and paste or print a particular
scene?

Jake,
Try pressing escape, that should bring you to edit mode. To pause the
presentation press the S key of your keyboard. If you press F1 during the
slide show you will get a summary of all the keys and key combinations you
can use to influence your presentation.

NabilShuh,
Not that I know of, unfortunately.

Luc, thanks for your reply to my question. Perhaps I should be more precise
in the problem I am having. I receive several e-mails with beautiful photos
in slide presentations. When I get them in Corel Presentations I can pause it
and save the picture to file. I can't do that if it is sent to me in Power
Point. As per your instructions, when I pressed 'escape' I lost the
presentation. I can right-click and pause it, but I don't get the options to
copy or save it. That is my problem. Hope you can help me. Jake L.

Jake,
So you are using the PowerPoint viewer and have not installed PowerPoint
itself.
You can't edit the presentation if you use the viewer. You can print the
slides.

Luc,
In my Microsoft Office Professional, I have installed, Word, Excel, Power
Point, Office Picture Manager, Publisher, Office Tools.... etc...
I went to Power Point and tried to insert the e-mail presentation and was
advised that Power Point could not open files from "Jantjebeton.pps."
Luc, I get a lot of beautiful photos in this presentation format and would
like to save individual photos.... how can I do that? Thanks for your
patience with me and your help.
