Pasting Slides from one presentation to another - PPT 2007 - formatting woes

This seems to be a common annoyance of many. I am copying from one PPT2007
presentation a number of slides and pasting into a new PPT2007 presentation.
All the pasted font type and size is completey different than the source.
When I click the paste options and choose "keep source formatting" the
layout does not revert back to the original font size and style. I've tried
doing a "paste special" with no luck as well as dragging a dropping the
slides from one presentation to another. I tried playing around with the
slide master but that just inserted the same text on top of the pasted
slides.

This is a weekly project that gets updated and it's very annoying and time
consuming to have re-edit each of the 60+ slides over and over again.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

Here is a follow-up:

I tried using a friends Poweroint 2003. I open the PP file created in 2007,
copy the needed slides, paste into 2003 and the formatting is correct and
identical to the original. Why the heck can't 2007 paste the same way?
Very annoying!
