Hello,
How do you copy and paste a graphic from Illustrator CC to Powerpoint?
I know that sounds easy, and it should be...I used to be able to do this the standard way (ctrl+c in Illustrator, ctrl+v in Powerpoint), however now the result is just a load of code inside Powerpoint and no image. Any ideas? (other than exporting as pngs etc.)
I'm on the latest version Illustrator CC, Powerpoint 2011 for Mac, Mac OS 10.9.1
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
In Preferences > File handling uncheck "Include SVG options"

Hello,
I'm in PPT 2011 and the latest Illustrator CC 2015 19.1.0 and nothing above seems to work. Any other suggestions I'd LOVE to hear?

Don't know if you still need this, but there is an option is settings called "clipboard handling", uncheck the SVG option and copy paste. In powerpoint you'll need to right click and click paste special, then the "TIFF" or "PNG" button

How to copy non editable vector shapes into PPT, no exporting required.
1. Copy from InDesign or Illustrator.
2. Paste special in Powerpoint as PDF
That's it
Ps. I'm using CC2015 versions and Powerpoint 2015

I'm talking about importing vectors...not just any image. The above answer rasterizes the images so they do not look sharp and clean like vectors. But thanks anyway! I think the long round about answers above should work.

But then you cant change the color of the icon, only the background?

I'm having this same problem and it JUST STARTED. Never had an issue with this before. I unchecked the SVG option and it's still not working.

THis is an ancient thread. And whether or not this works, depends heavily on the versions used and your system.
Also: There might be third party software that interferes with your clipboard. And what exactly happens? Doesn't paste at all?

It worked! I had to close out of illustrator and restart. D'OH!
I just updated all my adobe programs from the cloud to the latest versions, so I guess the SVG box is checked by default.
THANK YOU!
