Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for copying text onto another slide.

You can copy an entire text object to another slide, or text from within an object to another slide. Copying an entire text object is the same as copying other objects. They will be copied to the new slide in the same position as the original.

To copy just text and not the whole text object, select the text, choose Copy from the Edit menu, then go to the slide that you want to copy the text to.

To copy text into another object, select the object and chose Paste from the Edit menu. It doesn’t have to be a text object; you can copy text into a graphic object too. To copy to another text object, click in the text box where you want the new text to be inserted. Choose Paste from the Edit menu and the new text is inserted at the insertion point. Choosing Paste without an insertion point adds the new text at the end of the object’s existing text. Paste without any object selected creates a new text object.
