What happens if you paste text into MS-PowerPoint 2019 with the Keep Source Formatting option?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) The text retains its original formatting from the source.

Explanation:

• When you paste text into MS PowerPoint 2019 using the "Keep Source Formatting" option, the text will retain the formatting from the original source. This includes font style, size, color, and other text-related formatting, preserving the appearance it had in the source document or application.
• This option is useful when you want to maintain the exact style of the text from its original format rather than adopting the default formatting of the PowerPoint slide.

Information Booster:

• The "Keep Source Formatting" option is typically available when pasting text from another application like Word, Excel, or even from a web browser.
• If you choose another option like "Use Destination Theme", the text will match the theme and formatting of the destination slide, overriding the original formatting.

Additional Knowledge:

(a) The text adopts the destination slide’s theme fonts/colors.

• This would happen if you select "Use Destination Theme" when pasting text, not "Keep Source Formatting".

(c) The text is converted into an image.

• This is not a result of using the "Keep Source Formatting" option. You would need to manually convert the text to an image or use a screenshot option to convert the text into an image.

(d) The text size automatically adjusts to fit the slide.

• This happens when PowerPoint automatically resizes the text to fit the placeholder. However, it is not related to the "Keep Source Formatting" option.
