Combining PowerPoint presentations streamlines the presentation process, eliminating the need to switch between different files during an event. This approach not only simplifies the review process, allowing for a seamless flow of content, but also provides event organisers the flexibility to incorporate additional slides, such as breaks or announcements, enhancing the overall coherence and professional appearance of the presentation.
To combine PowerPoint presentations you can use the ‘Reuse Slides’ feature:
- Open your main presentation.
- Click where you want the new slide to be added in the slide thumbnail pane.
- Go to the ‘Home’ tab, in the ‘Slides’ group, click the arrow below ‘New Slide’, then choose ‘Reuse Slides’.
- Click ‘Open a PowerPoint File’ in the ‘Reuse Slides’ pane.
- Locate and select the presentation file you want to use, then click ‘Open’.
- To maintain the original formatting of the added slides, select the ‘Keep source formatting’ checkbox before adding the slide.
