You know Joe's team just did a PowerPoint® 2000 presentation about product sales, and Sue's team also did a PowerPoint 2000 presentation on the research division. You would like to include their information in a presentation for your quarterly company-wide meeting. Rather than re-create all the slides you need, insert the critical slides from each group's presentation into your presentation.

To Insert a Slide from Another Presentation

1. Select the slide after which you want to insert slides from another presentation. Slides are inserted into a presentation after the currently selected slide.
2. On the Insert menu, click Slides from Files.
3. In the Slide Finder dialog box, locate the presentation that contains the slide or slides you want.
4. Do one of the following:

To insert an individual slide, select the slide you would like to insert, and then click Insert.

To insert the whole presentation, click Insert All.

1. To continue inserting slides, return to step 3.

Before inserting another slide, verify that your presentation is open to the slide after which you want to insert slides from another presentation.

1. When you are finished inserting slides, click Close in the Slide Finder dialog box.
