Customized layout of multiple slides

[Karen J.]

I was asked to produce a Powerpoint slide that contained six slides
(from another presentation) within it, all with the original format.
I am using Office 2003.

Someone suggested paste special, but that only pasted the text of
the slides (without the formatting). Plus I didn't see how to get all
six on one slide. The layouts given don't seem to support it.

Someone else suggested grouping the elements on the slide before
copying, but grouping doesn't seem to be active on non-drawing
elements.

Any suggestions? If this is not reasonably easy, I'll just ask them
to do it, but thought I should try.

Thanks,
Karen Jumel

Karen J,
Open the presentation, go to File save as - in the save as listbox click on
the arrow and choose jpg, png or whatever format you like. Hit Save, choose
to save all the slides or just the current slide.
You will now have 6 graphic files which you can insert on 1 slide using
Insert picture from file.
Six seems a lot, though and you will have to resize them to fit on the
slide.

Because your using 2003, you can use Insert Slide from files, select the
slides you want, and retain original formatting

To be sure I've got this right:

You have Presentation A (formatted one way) and Presentation B (formatted
differently). You want to include slides from B within A but want the B slides
to retain their formatting.

'Zat right?

Since you have 2003, it should be pretty simple:

Open Presentation A (your main one)
Choose Insert, Slides from Files
Click Browse and pick Presentation B
You'll see images of each of the slides in B; select the ones you want, then
make sure you put a check next to "Preserve formatting" in the lower left
corner of the dialog box.
Click Insert

That's it.

This worked very well. Thanks to everyone for the useful information.
