What version of PowerPoint does this need to work in?
If PPT2002 and later, you can do:

ActivePresentation.Slides(x).Shapes.PasteSpecial (parameter)

to force the pasted image onto slide x in the format dictated by "parameter"

If the format isn't on the clipboard, an error occurs.

So it would be handy to check what's on the clipboard first?
