When I cut text from Word 2007 and paste it into a PowerPoint 2007 slide, the
pasted text is usually (but not always) converted to all bold. When the text
contains mixed sizes, strange sizes result.

How can I cut from Word and paste the identical thing into PowerPoint?

I never found a suddenly-appearing "paste options" button, much less "keep
source formatting." But your suggestion made me play around with options I
hadn't tried. I stumbled on the solution: PASTE FROM THE CLIPBOARD, NOT
USING CONTROL-V. The original format comes through unchanged. All I have to
do is fit the text to the slide.

If I get any other weird text formatting problems, I'll come back to this
thread, but the problem seems to be solved. Thanks

Right after you paste, you should get a paste options button. Choose "keep
source formatting" from there.

Well, I wrote too soon. Some well-mixed texts showed me that just pasting
from the clipboard doesn't solve the problem. So how do I find that OPTIONS
button that will offer the choice of "keep source formatting"?

It should show up after you paste. It's a little icon that looks like a
clipboard.
