Hi
I have accumulated a series of ppt presentations over the
past month - now I am preparing for a conference and want
to have some slides from one ppt and some from another
etc etc.
I have set up a new ppt but I would like to "insert slide
from file" in such a way that the original formatting (ie
template colours etc ) stay intact. At the moment they
auto reformat to the "host" ppt.

The only work round I can find is to export the slides to
jpg and insert them into the new ppt - but I seem to
loose some clarity and (obviously) the opportunity to
edit them at the last minute.

Would appreciate any help with this.

thanks
