It still surprises me that many of the PasteSpecial options are not available form the clipboard or in PowerPoint generally. I think there is a way around this using a different method. Instead of:

PPSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial ppPasteOLEObject

If not, there are several others that might be worth checking:

• PasteSourceFormatting
• PasteDestinationTheme
• PasteAsEmbedded
• PasteExcelTableSourceFormatting
• PasteExcelTableDestinationTableStyle
