copy and paste from PPT07 to PPT03 full slides without imaging

Seems to me when I copy a slide to 03 from 07 it becomes a rasterized image.
I'm not even talking smartArt here, I'm talking a whole slide, or a text box
(if multiple). Any advice?
 
How are you pasting the slides? That is, are you pasting a slide thumbnail
(from 07) onto the slide workspace (in 03)? That will create an image. If
you paste into the slide thumbnail pane or into slide sorter view, it should
paste the slide.

The textboxes may become images if you've used new 07 effects (glows,
shadows, reflections, etc.) so that they render properly in 03. The
developers decided that making it display properly trumps editability in
those cases.
 
How are you copying? The easiest way, is to open both presentations in the
Slide Sorter view, then drag the slides from one presentation to the other.
You then have the option to maintain the original formatting or take on the
format of the receiving presentation.

Well I open 2003 and 2007. But I try to drag a suggested in the view as
suggested and I don't get an option to drag at all. I get one of those
blocked options? Of course I can do this from 2007 to 2007 --but that doesn't
help. Am I doing something wrong. I'm in Slide Sorter. Just click and drag a
slide but nothing.
 
Open both presentations in 2007, then go into slide sorter view for both
presentations arrange them side by side and then right click on whichever
slide you want to copy and drag it to the position in the receiving
presentation when you release the mouse button, you will be asked if you
want to move or copy the slide. make your choice and your done.

Hey Michael - -thanks for your help - -but the caveat for me is the subject
line - I need to get 03 to 07 or vice versa, but you are telling me to open
them both in the same version to get this to work.
 
That is what I'm saying. That AFAIK is the only way to drag from one
presentation to another.

Thanks --- unfor'ly that is what I was afraid off - -if I open in 07 and
then move the slides over and save back to PPT03 -- man -- the size of the
file explodes. Thanks for your help!
 
You might want to look here for a possible solution.
Don't do this with PowerPoint. Seriously.
