WINDOWS

Summary:

When you paste large numbers of objects onto a slide or note page, you will eventually receive an alert:

Sorry, you cannot paste all the objects to this slide, some have been pasted. Use Undo to recover the slide’s state before pasting

At this point, PowerPoint will paste as many of the objects that it can, until it reaches the limit of 1170 objects per slide or note page. This limit includes the title object.

If you have reached the maximum number of objects, the Paste command will be dimmed and any attempt to create a new object with one of the drawing or text tools will generate the following alert:

Sorry, you cannot add any more objects to this slide *
