Hi Kate,

Thanks you for your question

You can try going into the menu "Insert" "slides from file" and locating the presentation then the slide that way

Hope that helps, enjoy your training, get back to me if there is a problem

Hi Kate,

To preserve the format of a table, it's best to insert that table slide into your NEW presentation.

On the new presentation, select INSERT menu --> SLIDES FROM FILES --> BROWSE --> locate existing presentation --> click on the required table slide --> INSERT --> CLOSE --> edit new presentation if necessary.

See if this helps.

Powerpoint tip:

Reduce PowerPoint file sizes

In PowerPoint, images often take up a lot of space which can lead to difficulties when it comes to emailing files. Luckily PowerPoint does contain some tools to help deal with this issue.

1. Disable the Fast Save feature - so that any changes you make will be immediately reflected in the file size. Go to Tools > Options > Save and deselect 'Allow fast saves'.

2. PowerPoint has an inbuilt compression tool, which is located on the Picture Toolbar.

If the Picture toolbar is not visible on your screen, go to View > Toolbars > Picture.

To compress or reduce the size of a picture, select the picture then click the Compress Pictures button on the Picture Toolbar. You can also right-click on a picture to access the option to compress it.
