Is there a way to set "keep source formatting" as the
default when you paste? With all the pasting we do it's a
pain to have to click on the paste options clicpboard
everytime. Thanks.
 
Richard,
That is an often made request. Unfortunately, it cannot be set as the
default.

Hello Richard,

As Shyam indicated, PowerPoint does not have the specific capability that
you are looking for. Although some defaults can be customized (such as
using the Options dialog) other defaults (such as Paste format) are
built-in and cannot be customized and require manual or VBA workarounds.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide more control over various default behaviors, settings, etc.
(without have to resort to VBA or 3rd party add-ins), don't forget to send
your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
