One of my co-workers needs to quickly send a email with a couple of slides
from an extremely large PowerPoint presentation through MS Outlook. Can she
do this from a PowerPoint presentation or must the slides always to within a
presentation?

1) copy the presentation to another file
2) open the file in powerpoint
3) delete the other slides
4) save the file
5) email it

Cheers

Another way to do it:
- Open a blank presentation
- INSERT >> SLIDES FROM FILES >> (browse) >> click KEEP SOURCE FORMATTING >>
(pick the slides yout want)

Don't forget Bill Dilworth's free SaveSelection add-in that allows you to
select the slides you want to separate from the deck and save them in a
separate file (all while keeping the original file intact.

A tiny warning!

Taj's method works great if you do it as he says - however I have many folk
coming to me saying "I accidently saved over my original, how do I get it
back??" Ans - "You dont!"

The insert slides from files way is a lot safer IMHO and often quicker

Amen to that. Too easy for the phone to ring in the middle of it all and ...


OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I've learned the hard way always to SAVE AS NEW NAME first.
Then carry out whatever other steps are on the menu.

This is why I recommend that everyone download Shyam's Sequential Save!
