Method for having only one super powerpoint

[Guest]

Hello Experts,
I have a powerpoint that contains about 40 slides.
These slides represent all of my company's offerings.

However depending on the customers needs I might only want to show 10 of the
40, where 3 would be our company info, 3 would be the specific product they
need, and 4 would be why they should invest.

Is there anyway way to create flavors within one ppt so my sales rep only
need one file, and then choose which flavor they need for that customer?

Thoughts or feedback?
Thanks,
Kevin

You could create custom shows for each flavor and then have a menu slide
with hyperlinks to each of the custom shows. This tutorial might help:

OK. Once you have set up the custom shows, you can hyperlink to them. I
would set up a slide (probably first or second slide) as my menu slide
and either put buttons or a bulleted list of text. Select the button or
text you want to link and choose Hyperlink from the Insert menu. You
want to link to a "Place in this document." Then, you want to choose to
link to "Custom Show." Once you click on "Custom Show," you should see a
list of the custom shows that you created.

Let us know if you need further help.
