How to Combine Powerpoints
After creating many PowerPoint presentations, you probably have favorite slide layouts and slides that are appropriate for multiple presentations. Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 includes a feature that lets you import individual slides or all slides from another presentation. This Reuse function lets you copy slides from an existing presentation without opening it. You can browse the file, select individual slides to add to your new presentation, or combine the complete old presentation with the new one.
