unwanted slide layout changes when using copy and paste with equat

[ajmaschinot]

Hello:

I have Office 2003, and I frequently use Microsoft Equation 3.0 for
mathematical equations that I need. Often, I need to copy-and-paste an
exisiting equation multiple times. However, when I try to paste a copy of an
equation, the slide layout changes. For instance, if I start with a "title,
text, and content" slide, then the act of pasting an equation turns that
slide into a "title, text, and 2 content" slide. Worse, all of my graphics
and whatnot on the slide are now all pushed over to one side of the slide and
I have to go move them all back to their original positions.

I'm sure there's an easy fix (some option to which off or whatnot), but I
cannot seem to figure it out. Can anyone please help me out?

Thank you,

Aaron

Tools | Autocorrect. Uncheck the option for "automatic slide layout." Pretty
sure it's one of the last 4 or 5 options on the middle tab (AutoFormat as
You Type).
