Using Slides from Other Presentations

PP07S-1.5, PP07S-2.3.1

To insert slides from other presentations, you can open the presentation and copy and paste the slides you want, or you can use the Reuse Slides task pane (New!). With the Reuse Slides task pane, you don't have to open the presentation first; instead, you can view a miniature of each slide in a presentation and then insert only the ones you select. If you only want to reuse the theme from another presentation, the Reuse Slides task pane can do that too (New!).
