Problem with keeping formatting when inserting slides

Relevant Programs:
Currently Using Office 2007 PowerPoint
Files created in and formatted with Office 2003 PowerPoint

What am I doing?
+Open main file - everything ok.
+Home tab > Insert Slides > Reuse slides > Browse file
+Comes up with slides from second file in right hand side panel - everything
still ok.
+Click on individual slides to insert them - Keep Source formatting IS
ticked - I need the separate format styles - Problem happens

Problem:
+Only certain aspects of formatting have been transferred, not all
formatting ie background is transferred, title formatting transferred, but
text box formatting is not, text is, but not colour or font etc

Other Relevant Details:
+Office 2007 is new on this computer (less than 1 week at time of posting)
+Slides being inserted worked 100% perfectly in Office 2003 - have done this
plenty of times before with these files in different presentations
+No change in fonts available (unless Office 2007 has deleted some which I
am unaware of - in which case why is it still formatted correctly in original
file?)


Hope I've covered everything

Please tell me how I can keep the formatting from all aspects of the slide?
or is there something I have done wrong?

Powerpoint is critical to my work - I use it 3-4 times a week in major hour
long presentations. If this issue can not be resolved, I may as well go back
to Office 2003.

thanks.
 
Issue Resolved

Problem Found to be with the fact that although the slides to be inserted
Looked like they were formatted correctly in Title & Content layout, they
were in fact Title and a manually inserted text box. Once each slide was
reformatted to Title and Content layout, all insertions progressed smoothly
and properly.

Took some time to discover, but such a simple solution.

Thanks.
