Hi,

I'm putting a presentation together using keynote and I have a few questions about the way the clipboard is working.

Is it true that the keynote clipboard is unable to bring multiple objects in as vector graphics unless it is imported via powerpoint?

In particular I'm using omnigraffle and an older presentation in powerpoint to bring things in. From omnigraffle if I grab a group of objects and copy, and then past them in to keynote they become one object, and cannot be ungrouped. The same goes with copies from powerpoint, illustrator, etc. I've even tried saving the graffle file as pdf and importing, and still one fixed object, no manipulation allowed.

If I import the powerpoint presentations and copy and paste objects from the old presentation to the new one everything stays as a bunch of objects, no problem.

Does anyone know if there is something I'm missing here, or is keynote importing/clipboard capability severely limited?

Thanks
