Paste from Powerpoint
I used to paste graphics/text from Powerpoint into Illustrator with no issues. Now with CC, only text in Times will paste without corruption into symbols. Is there a way around converting the font before copying?

I leave this comment if someone suffers from this, exact same problem. I had this trouble too, and I could fix it by matching the font type. Match the font in the ppt file and Illustrator. For example, Arial(title), Arial(text), and Arial (in the list of fonts) make different results in Illustrator. Change the font 'Arial' with nothing. If you cannot make it, copy the objects you want to paste > paste in a new ppt file > change font > copy and paste in Illustrator.
I hope this comment helpful. -

In older illustrators you could copy paste text back and forth form MS Word, Google drive, PPT, etc. Since 2019 you can't. It is an unnecessary waste of time. For some reason, someone decided to change that.

Not a solution, but a workaround: copy from PPT and paste into INDD: then cut from INDD and paste into AI.
