MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2007Merging 2 presentations into one in PowerPoint 2007
I have 2 different presentations from different companies that I would like to put together yet preserve the formatting for each deck. I saw an earlier post but the answer wasn't relevant to the 2007 version of PowerPoint. Is there a way to do this with the new version? Thanks. Maureen Click Home tab. Under Slides, you will see a "New slide" dropdown. Click on the dropdown, select Reuse Slides. Click "Open a PowerPoint file". Look for the file and click Ok. Put a checkmark to "Keep source formatting", then insert the slides you want.

It worked perfectly except for the page numbering, which continued from the existing presentation instead of starting new. I would assume that's an issue with the slide master. > Click Home tab.

Not really; it's just that PPT doesn't have anything like Word's Sections that let you restart numbering. You can change the starting number of the first slide in the show, but that's it. You may have to do the numbering manually if it's critical that it restart. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Is there some way in 2007 of inserting an entire presentation rather than clicking on each individual page?

Right-click one of the slide thumbnails and choose Insert All Slides. (It's not very intuitive, is it?)

What is brilliant is that you were able to find this function. I would be interested in knowing how much time the developers spend hiding one of the most useful functions in Powerpoint. It is obvious that these people do not actually use the software for anything other than a one off show. PPT2007 is really counter productive to those of us who use the software on a large scale. Other useful changes included moving the sorter button from the left side of the screen to the right side, and why did they do that?????????? Just cause. > Brilliant!
