Alright, I've good news and bad news.

The good news first:

In order to get powerpoint 2003 to copy/paste you need the ole32.dll and
rpcrt4.dll that are install with DCOM98.  You can use winetricks to install
this. Installing DCOM98 along with the overrides I described above will allow
you to copy/paste.

Now for the bad news:

These overrides cause powerpoint 2003 to NOT be able to save new files. If you
start a new powerpoint, you cannot save it.  I have been able to edit and save
*existing* powerpoints, but only by invoking them from the command line!  Even
so, powerpoint 2003 seemed to get confused after a time and not be able to save
again.  

In summary, you can get powerpoint 2003 to copy/paste, but you have to pay a
price.  I do not recommend this workaround.  You can lose alot of work.
