Hi Annabelle

Thank you for your question. Sorry about the delay in replying but I haven't been at work since Thursday's training so only just got the chance to respond now. I hope you enjoyed Friday's training session as well.

To insert slides from one PowerPoint presentation into another, go to Insert - Slides - From file. Then navigate to and select the PowerPoint presentation that contains slides that you wish to use in the presentation you are currently building.

To insert all slides from the chosen presentation, click Insert All. To insert only some slides, click on the slides you wish to insert from the display; and click Insert.

Tick the Keep source formatting box before inserting slides if you want the slides to look exactly the same when they are inserted. Otherwise the slides will pick up the formatting from the presentation you are inserting them into.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Powerpoint tip:

Another way to reduce PowerPoint file sizes

A very quick and easy way to reduce the size of a PowerPoint file (particularly if it contains many images and/or objects) make the first slide in the presentation a blank slide (using slide layouts).

Why does this work? Because when you go to open the file through PowerPoint (File - Open or by using the Open button), the preview image that PowerPoint sees of that file is of a blank slide so the overall file size is reduced.
