I can't figure out how to copy an entire slide
presentation into a new file. I have office 2000 and
windows xp. Can anyone help?

Deborah,
Use the menu "Insert" - choose "Slides from files" - choose the browse
button - select the presentation that contains the desired slides - hit
open - choose insert all or select the slides you want and choose insert.
Close the dialogue.

[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

The process of copying a presentation or copying slides from one
presentation to another has been unchanged for many versions of PowerPoint.
I'm curious as to whether or not the buiilt-in help topics ("Copy file" or
"copy a slide from one presentation to another") did not provide enough
information to help you understand how to do this.

As always, if you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions
for improvements to the built-in and/or online help content and/or the
interface/utility for the user assistance features in Office/PowerPoint or,
for this specific case, suggestions for improving the process by which
slides are copied from one presentation to another, don't forget to send
your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
