paste into existing frame

Question

In 2003 I could select a picture and then do a paste from the clipboard and it would paste into the selected picture frame.  It would even use the same crop and skew from the original picture making updating the weekly presentation quite easy.  Powerpoint 2010 is driving me crazy.  If there is an office product that desperately needs work its this one.

Answer 1

I'm with you Christine. Cut and Paste is banned here especially from the web!

Answer 3

If you format the placeholder in the Master (custom layout) Select the placeholder on the slide and paste then hit RESET

Answer 4

If you right click on the picture you would like to replace, you can choose "Change Picture" then navigate to the file you would like to change it with. 

All formatting applied to the original picture should remain the same.
