You can either publish your presentations to a slide library and then use
the slides however you want or you can open all your presentations, arrange
them, and then drag slides from one presentation to another

Open the first PPT file. Click Orb, Save As and select new filename. Save.
(The remainder is from Microsoft PPT Help file)

In the pane that contains the Outline and Slides tabs, click Slides, and
then click where you want to add a slide.

On the Home tab, in the Slides group, click New Slide, and then click Reuse
Slides.
In the Reuse Slides pane, click Open a PowerPoint File.
In the Browse dialog box, locate and click the presentation file that
contains the slide that you want, and then click Open.

Tip In the Reuse Slides pane, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 displays
thumbnails (thumbnail: A miniature representation of a picture.) of the
slides from the presentation that you selected. Rest the pointer on a
thumbnail to see a larger version of the slide's contents.

In the Reuse Slides pane, do one of the following:
Note If you want the slide that you are adding to the destination
presentation to maintain the formatting of the original presentation, select
the Keep source formatting check box before you add the slide to the
destination presentation.

To add a single slide, click the slide.
To add all of the slides, right-click any slide, and then click Insert All
Slides on the shortcut menu (shortcut menu: A menu that shows a list of
commands relevant to a particular item. To display a shortcut menu,
right-click an item or press SHIFT+F10.).


Hope this helps, let us know.

I did the " open all, drag & drop ". It works.
However, if the 4 PPTs contained more slides than what I had, it would be
extremely time consuming.
I have 3 PPTs of salt water fish, 1 for Angelfish, 1 for Butterfly fish, and
1 for Clown fish. Each has in excess of 20 slides. That method would be too
taxing.
I might as well save them in jpg images, arrange them all into one folder,
insert them back to PP.
What is your opinion ?

" In the pane that contains the Outline and Slides tabs, click Slides, and

It's the thing down the left side of the page that says Slides -/- Outline
to the left side of the slide you are viewing. It has all the slides
showing as thumbnails down the left margin of the window.

Yes, I know you are using 2007, that is where I got the help from.

Yes. I was not reading carefully. Sorry.
It works very well. Thank you very much.

You can select all the slides at once from one presentation and drag them to
your new presentation.

If you have no animation associated with any of your slides, then saving
them all as image files would do the trick. Keeping in mind that your making
a copy of your slide and you will experience degradation in image quality
each time you do it. would not be my choice.
