  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2002

SYMPTOMS

When you copy and paste a slide that has custom animation applied to a placeholder on the slide master, PowerPoint stops responding.

This problem occurs in presentations with multiple masters, or when you copy and paste between two presentations that have different masters.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when you click Keep Source Formatting (on the shortcut menu for the Paste Options icon), and the Custom Animation task pane is visible. If this task pane is not visible, PowerPoint pastes the slide correctly.

WORKAROUND

When you paste the slide, make sure that the Custom Animation task pane is not visible before you click Keep Source Formatting.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
