How to Import Slides from Another Presentation

PowerPoint 2013 enables you to add one or more slides to your presentation from a different presentation that is either located on your computer or on a network without having to open the other file.

  1. In the left pane where you see thumbnail images of your slides, click in-between the slides where you want to add the imported slide. A red line will appear as seen in the screenshot below between slides 4 and 5.

    To insert one or all of the slides, right-click on any slide and select Insert Slide or Insert All Slides.

To maintain the formatting of the source presentation, check the box Keep source formatting before you insert any slide.
