Combining Multiple Slides in PowerPoint

THIS TUTORIAL IS OUTDATED - PLEASE GO HERE TO SEE THE UPDATED VERSION, THANKS!

You can combine several of our templates to mix and match slides from different animated templates into one presentation. In this video tutorial you can use the “Reuse Slides” function in PowerPoint 2007 and newer to combine slides from various templates.

When combining several animated templates together remember that the more animated templates you combine the larger your presentation will become. A number of video files will make your presentation quite bulky. This could be a problem if you are distributing the completed presentation.

Mac PowerPoint 2008 and 2011 instructions:

In Mac PowerPoint, inserting slides from other presentations or templates work pretty much the same way but the command is labeled differently. The function is located under the “Insert” menu. Look for Insert/Slides From/Other Presentations. In the slide finder, be sure to check “Keep Design of Original Slide” to retain the formatting, animations and other graphic elements. Otherwise PowerPoint will only copy the text and not slides design.
