Importing other speakers presentations into my one overall prese

some speakers give me a presentation but use old version eg 2003 but ours is 2007 and they tell me their formatting has changed and I have 1 minute to fix it, how do I do this?

RE: importing other speakers presentations into my one overall p

Hi Yvonne, thanks for your query. I think you are copying pasting the speaker presentations into your presentation. Try this instead.

Click the drop down arrow beneath the New Slide icon and select Reuse Slides. In the panel that appears on the right hand side navigate to the saved speaker presentation. When you've selected it a preview should appear in the pane. Very important this next bit: at the bottom of the panel make sure "Keep Source Formatting" is ticked. Then right click on one of the previewed slides and select Insert All Slides. The whole thing should be imported into your master presentation without a single change.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Hi Anthony
Many thanks, I did that and it worked but the speaker referred to some of his work within the slides, implying that it was changed, eg tables or graphs or charts possibly. Regards Yvonne


RE: importing other speakers presentations into my one overall p

Hi Yvonne. The speaker may have created a link to an embedded spreadsheet/chart which is not travelling with the main presentation. This isn't a technical fault on your part, you just need to get the speaker to identify what has changed and whether it is changing at your end or theirs. If you want to be double certain nothing is changing, screenshot each slide and paste them into the main presentation as jpgs. Then there'll be no room for changes whatsoever!

Hope this helps,

Anthony

PowerPoint tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
