Copying slides from other presentations

There are several ways to copy slides from other presentations. You can:

  • Open the presentation, save it under a different name, and then delete the slides that you don’t want, leaving a new presentation with the desired slides ready for customization.
  • Open two PowerPoint windows side-by-side and drag-and-drop slides between them.
  • Open two PowerPoint presentations, copy slides from one of them to the Clipboard (Ctrl+C), and then paste them into the other presentation (Ctrl+V).
  • Use the Reuse Slides feature in PowerPoint, as described next.

To reuse slides from other presentations with the Reuse Slides feature, follow these steps:

  1. On the Home tab, click the lower portion of the New Slide button to open its menu.
  2. Click Reuse Slides. The Reuse Slides pane appears.
  3. Click Open a PowerPoint File
    OR
    Click the Browse button and then click Browse File.
  4. In the Browse dialog box, select the presentation from which you want to copy slides, and click Open. Thumbnail images of the slides in the presentation appear in the Reuse Slides pane, as shown in Figure 21-17.
  5. (Optional) If you want to keep the source formatting when copying slides, select the Keep Source Formatting check box at the bottom of the task pane.
  6. (Optional) You can move the cursor over a slide to see an enlarged image of it.
  7. Do any of the following:
    • To insert a single slide, click it.
    • To insert all slides at once, right-click any slide and choose Insert All Slides.
    • To copy only the theme (not the content), right-click any slide and choose Apply Theme to All Slides, or Apply Theme to Selected Slides.

Choose individual slides to copy to the current presentation.

Copying the theme with the Apply Theme to All Slides or Apply Theme to Selected Slides command does not copy the background graphics, layouts, or anything else other than the three elements that are included in a theme: font choices, color choices, and effect choices. If you want to copy all of the formatting, select the Keep Source Formatting checkbox (Step 5) and insert one or more slides.
