How to Insert 16:9 slides to PPT with 4:3 based template

[L J]

Hi

I'm organizing a PPT file, the file has 4:3 template, but within it I
want to insert several 16:9 slides copied from another PPT (of course 16:9
template).

I tried many times, after pasting, the 16:9 slides shrink to the 4:3
template which made a lot of thing screw up. Can somebody suggest a way how
to do so? Thanks in advance!

LJ,
You cannot combine 4:3 and 16:9 based slides in one presentation. The best
thing to do is to put a link to the 16:9 seperate presentation.
Here's a page which will help you:

Either follow Luc's suggestion or try this:

Save the 16x9 slides as graphics files (PNG, WMF, or EMF would be my first
choices) then use Insert, Picture, From File to bring them into otherwise blank
slides in your main 4x3 presentation.

OR

Open both presentations
Put the 16x9 presentation in Slide Sorter view
Select a slide and copy it
Switch to the other presentation, in Slide or Normal view.
Add a blank slide, then paste special, as Slide to put the 16x9 slide onto the
4x3 slide
