I copied a text box from one powerpoint 2003 file to another. An
obnoxious "paste options" menu is tagged onto the copied text box. It
is mind boggling that the the menu doesn't contain an option to banish
the menu. How can one do this?

Thanks.

Found a checkbox for the "paste options" under Tools->Options->Edit.
Is there a way to keep it checked so that I have the menu when I want
it, yet banish the menu in the cases where I don't?

Thanks.

No. It's all or nothing.
