Re: Why is it no longer possible to paste PP shapes as MS Drawing

I don't think it's a matter of what PPt *sends* - Copying/cutting to the
clipboard is an OS function over which the source has no control. It's a
matter of what/how the destination program is able to receive the
clipboard's content when pasting takes place.

That is incorrect. The clipboard itself is provided by the OS. What goes on it is totally under the control of the sending application, which can choose what, and how many, formats it wants to send. Any potential destination application can examine the formats and ignore those it doesn't understand, and do as it will with those it does understand.

Why does Popowerpont send the shape as "graphic object", and

As Bob indicated, the new graphics engine isn't as richly implemented in
Word as it is in Excel & PPt - which has historically been the case:-) The
good news (as I understand it) is that the newer engine more readily *can
be* integrated into Word than could the old engine - it just hasn't happened
as yet. I tend to think that Word will "catch up" in a future update or at
least in the next major release.
