The two methods for joining presentations are:
- Slides can be joined by using a slide show or slideshow software.
- The slides can be joined by using a code. Advantages of using a slide show or slideshow software:
- The slides can be easily shared with others and viewed on any device.
- The slides can be edited and customized as needed.
- The slides can be saved as files for future use.
- The slides can be played back on any device without the need for an internet connection. Disadvantages of using a slide show or slideshow software:
- It is not possible to add images to the slides which could make them more visually appealing and attractive to viewers.
- It is not possible to add music to the slides which could make them more audible and easier to understand for viewers.
The first method uses the Reuse Slides option in PowerPoint and the second method uses the Insert Object option.
Reuse Slides Method
To use the Reuse Slides option, you must first select the slides you want to reuse from the external presentation. Then, you can select which slides to include in your main presentation by using the Slides selection tool.
However, if you use the Slide Show mode, all of the animations and transitions will be carried over.
If you need to maintain all the animations or transitions, then you can use the Insert Object method. ..
To get started with this method, open the main presentation and then click between the two slides you want to import the slides into. It’s worth nothing that this method also lets you pick and choose which slides you want to insert from an external presentation, whereas the Insert Object method will insert the entire presentation.
To reuse slides in your presentation, click on the Reuse Slides option at the bottom of the New Slide menu. This will open a dialog box that will allow you to choose which slides you want to reuse. ..
When you click on that, a tab will appear on the right hand side. Click on the Browse button and then select Browse File. Check the Keep source formatting box if you want to keep the theme and text formatting of the external presentation. If you want to use the external presentation’s formatting, check the Keep source formatting box before clicking on Browse. ..
If you uncheck the box, then when you go to insert the slides into the main presentation, the slides will use the theme and formatting of the main presentation, but without any of the extra content that is included in individual slides.
- Choose the slide you want to insert and then click OK.
- Immediately, you should see a small thumbnail and the title of each slide displayed.
If you want to make a more comprehensive presentation, you can click on the “More” button on the left and select a different presentation from the drop-down list. You can also right-click on a slide and select “Save As” to save it as a PDF or PNG file.
The main point of this presentation is that the Trump administration is committed to creating jobs and lowering taxes. To do this, they are proposing a number of policies that will help businesses and individuals succeed. One of these policies is the proposed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which will reduce taxes on businesses and individuals. This policy will create jobs and help to reduce the cost of goods and services.
Please insert the slides here.
You can also use the external presentation theme to make your slides more visually appealing. To do this, right-click on the slide and choose Apply Theme to All Slides. This will apply the external presentation theme to all slides.
Merging two presentations can be done in a number of ways, but the most common is to use a video editor. This method is less effective because you lose all animations, effects, and transitions. ..
Insert Object Method
To run a slideshow in an external presentation, you will need to configure some settings so that it runs through all the slides in the external presentation.
Make sure you have a clean and dry surface to work on.
Be careful not to damage the surface you are working on.
When you insert the presentation as an object, it is a link to the presentation, but not a copy of it. If you open the external presentation later after inserting it into the main presentation and make changes to it, those changes will be reflected in the imported version inside the main presentation.
If you want to make changes to an already inserted presentation, you can edit it inside the main presentation. Again, those changes are only made to the version inside the main presentation. ..
This method is better than the Reuse Slides method because it keeps all your animations and transitions and it allows you to change or keep the theme of the inserted presentation.
To get started, open the main presentation and then insert a new slide. Make sure to delete any default text boxes or anything else on the new slide so that it is completely blank. ..
Now click on the Object tab and then click on the ellipsis.
Select the external presentation you want to insert into your main presentation. Click the Browse button. Select the file you want to open.
You can now see the first slide of the presentation inserted as a selectable object. All of the other slides are there, but you just can’t see them. ..
To insert a slide into your presentation, first click on the “Slides” tab at the top of your screen. Next, click on the “Insert Slide” button located in the lower right corner of the Slides tab. Now, move your cursor to the upper left corner of the inserted object until it turns into a double sided arrow. Click and then drag the corner to the upper left corner of your main slide. Now do the same thing with the bottom right corner of the object and drag it to the bottom right corner on your main slide. ..
To ensure that the slides are of the same size when played, insert an object that is the same size as the slide it was inserted onto.
In the Animations ribbon, click on Add Animation and then scroll all the way to the bottom where it says OLE Action Verbs. Click on the arrow next to OLE Action Verbs and select Play when Slide is hit.
If you were to play the presentation at this point, you would notice that when you reach the slide with the inserted presentation, it will show all the slides in the inserted presentation, but it will also include a still slide of the first slide at the front and back of the inserted presentation.
This was a bit of an annoyance to me, but you can almost get rid of it by clicking on Animations again and then clicking on Animation Pane.
If you want to start with the first object, click on the black arrow and then select Previous.
To get rid of the still image at the end of the presentation, you can select Effect Options from the menu above and then select Hide After Animation from the After animation dropdown box.
The problem with this workaround is that it’s not always possible to find the external presentation object. For example, if you’re presenting a slide show that includes photos, it might be difficult to find the text box or other object that you need to add. ..
This will effectively hide the object behind the presentation object. Now when you play your presentation, it will hide the presentation object after the last slide because that is what we chose in the After animation option. When the presentation object is hidden, you’ll see any content that was hidden under it. It’s a great way to avoid having that blank slide show up during the presentation.
If you right-click on an object in a presentation and choose Presentation Object – Edit, you can edit any slide in the presentation directly within the main presentation.
This was a detailed tutorial for anyone wanting to merge, combine or insert one PowerPoint presentation into another. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!
