Troubleshooting

Copying Versus Cutting Presentations

I thought I copied slides from one presentation to another, but now they've disappeared from my original presentation.

Be sure to use Ctrl+C (copy) rather than Ctrl+X (cut) if you want to keep the original slides in place. Moving slides removes them from their original location; copying just creates duplicates.

Consolidating Design Templates

I copied slides from several other presentations to my current presentation and ended up with multiple conflicting design templates.

To use a single design template, select the template you want from the Slide Design task pane and choose Apply to All Slides from the menu that appears when you click the down arrow.
