The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft PowerPoint for the Macintosh, version 4.0
 - Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS
========
 
When copying and pasting objects onto a slide in PowerPoint, you
may receive the following error message:
 
   Sorry, the slide has too many objects to perform the operation.
 
This error occurs because there is a limitation to the number of objects
that can be placed on a slide in PowerPoint.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in
Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
There is a limit of 2048 objects that can be pasted to a PowerPoint
slide.
 
Whether objects are grouped or not, they are still counted as
separate objects. Therefore, a slide may have what appears to be
only 15 clip art objects on it, yet the 2048-object limit has been
reached, so PowerPoint will not allow you to paste another image.
