Copy/Paste Images from one story to another

Apologies for my late reply I thought I had done already. 

Thanks Walt, your suggestion has worked fine, it's just a pain that there has to be a workaround for something that is simple functionality across most other programs.

I'd say if something doesn't work correctly it shouldn't be in the released version, that's what we would all do if a course wasn't behaving properly right?  

Leslie, this is consistently reproducible and is exacerbated if copying multiple items, specifically the entire contents of one slide in one project to a blank slide in a separate project. 

If it's relating to corruption of files then there must be some deeper underlying issue as it does seem like this happens a lot.  It happens with all the devs in my company and several of my out of work dev friends who also work with SL. 

Hopefully this is something you can rectify as remembering to import a project for the sake of copying and pasting one image or a layout is very irritating in terms of workflow.
