Is there a trick for copying from something like a powerpoint into vi? Every time I try to copy text from something like a powerpoint to vi my spacing gets messed up. I think it has something to do with my .vimrc file. When I renamed it was able to copy it in just fine so can someone please tell me what in my .vimrc is messing it up. Here is my .vimrc so you can take a look at it. Below it is what I am trying to copy into vi.

int main( void )
{
int a;
int b;
std::cout << "Enter two integers to compute their sum:" << std::endl;
std::cin >> a;
std::cin >> b;
std::cout << "The sum of " << a << " and " << b << " is ";
std::cout << a + b << std::endl;
return 0;
