Windows – Combine multiple powerpoint 2007 slide shows

microsoft-officemicrosoft-office-2007microsoft-powerpointwindowswindows-vista

I have several power point sideshows which I want to play in order and on a loop, I use Power point 2007, and can't find the 'insert slide from file' option that used to be in 2003.

If push comes to shove, I will have to use each slide as a static image and use photo gallery or something to view them, however I'd really like to have the animations working normally.

most of the slides use a master slide, so simply copying all the slides into a master file doesn't work as they will lose their background layouts etc.

Windows Vista, Power point 2007

edit: just found a youtube video on the subject:

Combine PowerPoint 2007 Slides from Different Presentations

Step by step:

  1. Open Powerpoint 2007, be sure focus on the 'Home' tab
  2. Click on the arrow below 'New slide' and then select 'Reuse slide'
  3. From the Reuse slides tab on the right - click 'Browse' and then 'Browse file' - select your Powerpoint file you want to insert slides from
  4. Choose if you would like to keep the source formatting or not by using the tick box at the bottom of the reuse slides tab
  5. Click the slides you want to use and they will be inserted automatically (or right click on a slide and then 'use all slides')

job done :-)
