Pasting images causing freezing

This is a very common bug. I have three separate computers, one a Dell, one a ThinkPad, and one a super gaming computer Alienware Area 51. 360 intermittently freezes on all copy/paste from PowerPoint regardless of install/reinstall or versioning and has done so for about the last year or so. As a matter of fact, I came to post here because it just froze and I have to shut everything down and restart 360!

Some tips:

SAVE OFTEN. Even with the autosave feature, you might have to restart and come back a number of slides or steps back in development.

CP or Download. As it is intermittent, I sometimes gamble. But the best way to do it is to save an image, and then insert it.

Clear your Clipboard. There is a macro you can snag that clears your clipboard out. This sometimes helps but has done so less in the past months.

Not being able to CP disrupts flow and is not time effective, but when you save the image, you may be better off. Currently, I just save often and get annoyed when it freezes up, and just say, oh well, its Articulate being Articulate again!
