Special Edition Using Microsoft® PowerPoint® 2000

Inserting Slides from Other Presentations

As an alternative to creating a custom show, you can also insert slides from another presentation. This helps save time and redundancy as well.

Note

A major difference between custom shows and inserting slides is that inserting makes a copy of the slide and, if you change the original, the copy isn't affected. Custom shows "link" to the slides, so they are stored only once.

1. Choose Insert, Slides from Files to open the Slide Finder dialog box, shown in Figure 7.10.

2. From the Find Presentation tab, click the Browse button to open the Browse dialog box (see Figure 7.11).

   Tip

   You can also enter the filename and path directly in the File edit box.
