Default Powerpoint '03 -- Publisher '03 copy/paste and text boxes

Hello,

I have a 40" wide x 30" tall MS Powerpoint '03 document that I'd like
to insert into Publisher '03. The reason is that Powerpoint will not
permit tiled printing and pasting into Publisher has been suggested to
me as a good workaround. I need to do my proofreading on a standard
printer before sending final art to a large format (and high cost)
unit.

I can copy/paste my PPT background and then overlay all of the slide
information with another copy/paste operation. Publisher lets me print
across multiple pages and ensure that fonts are legible and so forth.

The problem: When I paste into Publisher, the text boxes sent over
from Powerpoint become slightly undersized. I have to manually increase
the size of over 60 text boxes to see each text element in full.

I've tried several approaches including Paste Special-- Office Art,
etc. to no avail.

Is this a known issue or am should I be doing something differently?

Thanks,

--- Ravi
