I already said above:
Edit > Paste Special, then Unformatted text pastes the text is as
black 24 pt Arial plain, no matter the size, style, colour of the
selected text.

Doesn't work.

Have you tried Paste Special? If you select that instead of paste and then
select Unformatted Text and paste into an existing text box, it'll pick up
that text box's formatting.

For some reason, people want to use PP to print sales sheets for
products. I'd like to make them in, well, anything else, but in case
the salespeople need to edit them, we're using PP.

So I have hundreds of items, each on one page. I've made one page
(slide) just the way I want it, with the text formatted as I like. I
now want to make each item into a page with the formatting as in my
sample.

I have tried so many ways to copy formatting, but none work. The style
painter and Pick Up/Apply text Style tools (eyedroppers) ignore line
spacing, paragraph spacing, and bullets.

I thought if I formatted my outline levels on the Slide Master I could
import the text as an outline in Word. No dice, as I stated above.

If there were custom Styles as in Word I'd be sitting pretty. If I
could paste unformatted text and have it adopt the style of the
selected text I could do it, but it would take longer (all that switch
to Word, Copy, switch to PP, select, Paste, repeat six times for each
item). If I could fully copy formatting and apply it elsewhere I could
to it, too.

So far as I can tell, the only way to get what I want is to manually
format each piece of text. Please tell me that this 20 year old
program is more sophisticated than that. Please!
