| Inserting slides from another presentation |
|
If you have a PowerPoint file with multiple pages, you'll need to transfer them all, to ONE slide (page). As always, the best method is to directly type your information into the new presentation. But if you prefer to use content from another PowerPoint presentation, there are a couple of different ways to go about this. The first and quickest is the copy and paste method.
NOTE: The following instructions are for PowerPoint on the PC only.

Click on the first slide you want to put into your sign, and copy it to the clipboard (CTRL+C) as shown. When you click on the slide, you'll see it's border will be highlighted. In the example below, slide #1 is highlighted. ![]()
Switch to your new presentation, go to the menu bar and click on Edit>Paste Special as shown below.
You'll notice in the paste special dialog box (top right), there are a number of different options. The Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Object will allow you to edit the contents of the slide after it's been pasted into the new presentation. If you were to choose Picture (Enhanced Metafile) or Picture (Windows Metafile) the slide will be pasted into the presentation as objects, and won't be editable. PNG, GIF and JPG will convert your slide object to a picture, those options are not recommended, the slide will not be editable, and will mostly likely print out slightly blurred or jagged. |
