Have you ever tried to copy PowerPoint pages from one presentation to another, only to have a big mess on your hands? If you use typical copy/paste commands, the copied presentation will assume the formatting of the new presentation.
Thanks to Jan Schultink at Slides that Stick blog, for blogging a solution to keep the original format of slides when copying from one presentation to another for PowerPoint 2007.
- In the home ribbon, click “new slide”
- Click “reuse slides”
- Browse for the file to be inserted
- Click the “keep source formatting” box
Jan’s solution made me wonder if there was a Solution for PowerPoint 2003. And there is! I wish I had learned this tip 10 years ago!
1. On the toolbar, select “Insert” then “Slides from Files”
2. On the “Slide Finder” browse to select the file that has the slides that you want to insert
3. Check the “Keep source formatting” box, then either “Insert” selected slides or “Insert All”
