How to combine powerpoint presentations.

If you want to merge two PowerPoint files together, you have a few options you can try. Here's how to do it.

Quick Links

Combining powerpoint files using the reuse slides option, copying and pasting powerpoint slides.

It's difficult for two or more people to work on a PowerPoint presentation simultaneously, as Office doesn't have the same collaboration features offered by  Google Slides . One way around this problem is to combine PowerPoint presentations into a single file.

Merging two PowerPoints can be done by either importing the slides using the "Reuse Slides" option or by using the copy-and-paste method instead. These instructions are designed to work for the latest versions of Office , including Office 2016 and 2019, as well as Office 365 and Online. You may find the instructions vary for older versions of PowerPoint.

The "best" method for merging PowerPoint files, or at least the method that PowerPoint officially supports, is to use the "Reuse Slides" option. This feature merges the content of one presentation file into another, matching the theme of the new presentation file in the process.

To do this, open your PowerPoint presentation file---this is the file you're looking to merge into. In the "Home" tab on the ribbon bar, select the "New Slide" button and then click the "Reuse Slides" option at the bottom of the drop-down menu that appears.

Click Home > New Slide > Reuse Slides in PowerPoint to begin merging files

A menu will appear on the right. Click the "Browse" button to locate the PowerPoint presentation file that you want to merge into your open file.

Click the Browse button in the Reuse Slides menu to begin copying slides from another presentation

Locate your second PowerPoint file and then click the "Open" button to insert it.

Locate your second PowerPoint file, then press the Open button.

A list of slides from your second presentation will appear in the "Reuse Slides" menu on the right.

First, you'll need to decide on the formatting for your inserted slides. If you want to keep the format (including the theme) from the original presentation, make sure that the "Keep Source Formatting" checkbox is enabled at the bottom of the "Reuse Slides" menu. If you don't check this, your inserted slides will have the style of the open presentation applied to them.

Press the Keep Source Formatting box to keep the formatting of your existing slides before inserting them into a new PowerPoint file

To insert individual slides, right-click a slide and then select the "Insert Slide" option. Otherwise, click the "Insert All Slides" to copy all of the slides into your open PowerPoint presentation.

Right-click and press "Insert Slide" or "Insert All Slides" to insert slides from your other presentation into your open PowerPoint file

Your slide (or slides) will then be inserted into the open presentation, immediately underneath the currently selected slide. With your PowerPoint files combined, you can then save your merged file by clicking File > Save or Save As.

While the "Reuse Slides" method allows you to change the format of your slides before you insert them, you can also combine PowerPoint files by copying the slides from one open PowerPoint file and inserting them into another.

To do this, open a PowerPoint presentation and select the slides you want to copy from the slide selection menu on the left. From there, right-click on the selected slides and then press "Copy" to copy them to your clipboard.

Switch to the PowerPoint presentation you're looking to paste your slides into and then, in the slide selection menu on the left, right-click at the position you want to stick your slides.

To paste the slides and apply the theme of the open presentation file to them, click the "Use Destination Theme" paste option.

press the

To keep the original theme and formatting, select the "Keep Source Formatting" paste option instead.

To keep the original theme applied to your pasted slides, press the "Keep Source Formatting" paste option

The slides you paste will then appear in your new presentation at the position you selected. You can then save the merged file by clicking File > Save or Save As.

Do you want to use the slides from your other presentation in this one? The "Reuse Slides" function in Microsoft PowerPoint makes it easy to reuse slides from other presentations. It's also a helpful tool that will help you merge your presentations into one PowerPoint. If the "Reuse Slides" feature isn't available for your version of PowerPoint, you can also copy and paste slides, use the "Insert Object" menu, or drag and drop slides. This wikiHow article teaches you multiple ways you can combine PowerPoint presentations on your Windows or Mac computer.

Reusing Slides

Step 1 Open the presentation that you want to add slides to.

  • These imported slides will change to copy the theme and design of the other slides. If you don't want it to change, you can select Keep source formatting before you import them.

Step 2 Click where you want to add your slide.

  • If you want the slide(s) to maintain the original design theme and formatting, check the box next to Keep source formatting . [1] X Trustworthy Source Microsoft Support Technical support and product information from Microsoft. Go to source
  • Once you've selected the slides from the original source, they will appear in the new PowerPoint immediately.

Step 7 Save your presentation.

Copy and Paste

Step 1 Open the presentations that you want to copy your slides from and add slides to.

  • Use this option if "Reuse slides" isn't available since this will allow you the same options.

Step 2 Copy the slide you want to use in your other presentation.

  • If you want to select more than one slide, press and hold Shift as you click multiple sides.

Step 3 Paste the copied slides to your presentation.

Insert Object

Step 1 Open the presentation that you want to add slides to.

  • Use this if there are animations with the slide that you want to preserve. You won't be able to fine-tune the slide like you would if you used "Reuse Slide," but it will have all the animations and slide transitions from the previous slideshow.

Step 2 Select a space where you want to insert the new slide.

  • If you don't see the "New Slide" option, make sure the Home tab is selected.

Step 4 Click Insert and select Object.

  • Stretch the image to fill the entire slide to prevent it from changing sizes randomly.

  • Fayetteville State University

powerpoint merging presentations

  • Wichita Technical Institute

What to Know

  • In your primary PowerPoint: Home > New Slide > Reuse Slides > Browse .
  • In your secondary PowerPoint: Open . Right-click individual slides and choose Insert Slide , or select Insert All Slides .

This article explains how to combine two or more PowerPoint presentations into one presentation. Whether you’re using Mac or PC versions of PowerPoint, it’s easy to combine PowerPoint presentations.

Method 1: Reuse Slides

Microsoft PowerPoint provides the option to Reuse Slides . This method doesn’t require you to open all of your PowerPoint presentations, so it’s the fastest and easiest way to combine presentations.

Open your main PowerPoint presentation. You can choose the largest presentation, or whichever one has formatting you want to keep.

When you insert slides, they’ll be inserted after the slide you have currently selected. Keep this in mind before inserting slides.

Go to the Home tab in the upper-left corner.

Click New Slide . A drop-down menu will open.

Newer versions of PowerPoint have a dedicated Reuse Slides button.

Select Reuse Slides , located at the bottom of the menu.

Click Browse .

Find your second PowerPoint file and click Open . The slides from your second presentation will appear in the Reuse Slides menu.

Make sure Keep source formatting is checked if you want your slides to keep their formatting. If it isn’t checked, the formatting of your main PowerPoint will be applied to the slides when you insert them.

If you want to insert individual slides, select them and click Insert Slide .

If you want to reuse all slides in the PowerPoint presentation, click Insert All . If you don't see this, right-click one slide and choose Insert All Slides .

After your slides are merged into your presentation, Save your work.

Method 2: Copy slides

If you need to combine slides from several different PowerPoint presentations, copying PowerPoint Sides is another quick method. It’s easy to choose where each batch of slides ends up in your final presentation.

Open the PowerPoint presentation with slides you want to move.

Select the slides you want to copy from the slide viewer on the left.

Right-click the selected slides and copy them.

Open your main PowerPoint presentation.

Right-click where you want your slides to be inserted. The Paste Options menu will appear.

You can also use CTRL + V to paste the slides. On Mac, use command + V . The Paste Options menu will still appear.

If you want your inserted slides to match your main PowerPoint, click Use Destination Theme on the left. This will adapt the copied slides to your main presentation.

If you want your inserted slides to maintain their theme, click Keep Source Formatting . Your slides will keep their original appearance.

After moving all of your slides, save your project.

First, combine PowerPoint presentations by copying and pasting slides into the primary presentation or using the  Reuse Slide  option. After combining slides into one merged document,  save your PowerPoint as a PDF . Go to  File  >  Save as  >  PDF  or  File  >  Save & Send  >  Create PDF/XPS Document  >  Publish .

To merge multiple locked PowerPoints, you need to know the passwords to unlock them. Once you have password access, open the PowerPoints and select  File  >  Info  >  Protect Presentation  >  Encrypt with Password  > delete the content in the  Password  field > and select  OK . Now you can reuse or copy slides into one main presentation.

How to Combine Multiple PowerPoints into One

How to Combine Multiple PowerPoints into One | Quick Tips & Tutorial for your presentations

PowerPoint is one of the most widespread and widely used Microsoft tools in the world, allowing you to make high quality presentations in a simple, fast and super visual way. Maybe that's why presentations have triumphed in the world of business and education! 

Whether you're a professional or a student, you surely must have had to make more than one presentation throughout your career. That's a piece of cake when you have Slidesgo and its templates! In this post we want to lend you a hand and help you become a true master of this program: today you will learn how to combine different PowerPoint presentations .

How to merge PowerPoint presentations

If you want to join two or more different presentations in the same file, you want to add some extra slides or you need to merge the collaborative work of different teams, all you have to do is follow these steps: 

  • Open the first presentation. For this example we are going to use the template Minimalist Grayscale Pitch Deck .
  • Go to the Start menu > New Slide. Click on the drop-down, not on the button. A menu will open with different options, select "Reuse slides".
  • A menu will open on the right with recommended presentations. To add yours, click on Browse. We are going to add slides from the presentation Investment Business Plan .
  • Go to the place in the presentation where you want the new content to appear.
  • Choose which slides you want to add and add them one by one by clicking Insert Slide. You can also add the whole presentation by clicking on Insert All.

Pro tip : We recommend that you keep the "Use source formatting" checkbox checked. This feature makes the presentation you are adding keep its original style instead of adapting to the layout of the new one. 

Simple, isn't it? There is also another method, just as quick and easy, using the ancient technique known as "copy and paste". It consists of the following:

  • Open the presentation where you want the new slides to appear.
  • Open the other presentation and choose the slides you want to add. You can select more than one by pressing Control and clicking on them or you can select all of them by pressing Control + E. For this example we are going to add three slides from the Business Plan with Elegant Backgrounds template.
  • Right click and press copy or press Control + C.
  • Now go to the first presentation, choose the location and right click > Paste or press Control + V. Remember to select "Keep source formatting", this will keep the slides from losing their layout.

Now that you know how to put together your favorite presentations and slides, take a look at our website and download the ones that best suit your needs. You can choose resources from different designs and put them together to create the perfect presentation.

How to combine and merge PowerPoint-presentations

powerpoint merging presentations

In my work as an AV-technician on conference and events, I receive Powerpoint presentations from speakers that represents different companies. My job is to make sure that these are displayed on the projector/screen at the right moment exactly as they were made. To simplify this task, we made Auto Presentation Switcher (APS) which lets you open and display new presentations using keyboard-shortcuts and network-commands. But you may ask, isn’t this something that can be done from within PowerPoint? How can we merge and switch PowerPoint presentations without using third-party software?

And yes, as it turns out, Powerpoint has methods for combining slides and linking presentations. Today we will show different ways to work with multiple PowerPoint presentations for live events, and focus on 3 methods:

  • Paste and reuse slides
  • Switch presentations with APS
  • Use hyperlinks

After reading this blogpost, you should be a master of combining and merging PowerPoint-presentations. This can solve a lot of problems if you work as an event-producer or AV-technician on live events.

1. Paste and reuse Powerpoint slides

Some event-organizers want to have all the slides from the different speakers in one master-presentation. Then they can control everything from one presentation-clicker, and never exit the presentation during the show.

To create this presentation, you can paste the slides you need into one master-presentation. Or you can use the Reuse Slides method, which is an option in Powerpoint to import multiple slides. When pasting and reusing slides, there is one pitfall that you should be aware of, which can easily be overlooked: By default, if you bring slides from one presentation into another, PowerPoint can automatically make those slides look like the new presentation, by applying the destination theme to them. If you want the pasted slides to look identical to the original, you need to apply the option “Keep Source Formatting”

Pasting and reusing slides on Mac

This video shows how to paste slides and keep source formatting when using Mac:

There is an easier way to import multiple slides: using the “Reuse Slides” method. However, when I tested this for Mac, I couldn’t find a way to keep the source formatting. Notice in the video below that the popup-square for the theme-options doesn’t appear after reusing the slides. So, unless I did something fundamentally wrong here, the “reuse slides” method on Mac can´t be used in my workflow. The reused slides wont be identical to the originals.

Paste and reuse slides on PC

It seems that these things work better on Windows: When I paste slides, the formatting-options appear as an option before the slide is inserted, making it harder to miss: 

Pasting slides in PowerPoint for PC

And when re-using slides, the “keep original formatting” is chosen as the default option: 

This is one example where the PC version of PowerPoint is more developed than the Mac counterpart. If your workflow relies heavily on combining slides from different presentations, I recommend using the Windows version.

2. Use APS to switch between different PowerPoint presentations

The method of pasting and reusing slides takes time, and it’s easy to screw up the formatting. And, if the presentations have different aspect-ratio of let’s say 16:9 and 4:3, then combining the slides becomes more difficult. For these reasons, I think its a good idea to have alternative solutions for working with multiple Powerpoint presentations. One of the reasons we made APS was to solve this problem of quickly and seamlessly displaying content from different presentations. With APS, you don’t need to edit the presentations at all, instead you get shortcuts and network-commands to open and display new presentations. And with the seamless switching method , the audience wont notice the switch: The transitions will look the same as if you progress to the next slide.

3. Link PowerPoint presentations with internal hyperlinks

If you don’t want to use a third-party program like APS to switch presentations, you can try the internal solution presented by Powerpoint: Hyperlinks. This lets you create buttons in a slide that jumps to another presentation. This video shows how it’s done: 

The Hyperlink-button switches seamlessly to the next presentation. When pushing “escape”, you go back to the presentation with the hyperlink. I recently had a discussion on Reddit where the user u/SteveRindsberg explained how he used Hyperlinks to display different Powerpoint presentations: He has one presentation which only consists of one slide with hyperlinks to all the other speaker-presentations. The hyperlink-slide acts as a remote control. To exit the speaker-presentations and return to the hyperlink-slide, he push “escape”. In this setup, the presentation with the hyperlink is always in slideshow-mode but hidden behind the speaker-presentations started from the hyperlink. I think this is a sound method, and a viable alternative to APS. However, in my biased opinion, being the founder of APS, I do want to point out some advantages of using APS compared to using hyperlinks:

  • Easier preparation. With APS you just need to sort the presentations in a folder. Creating a master-slide with the hyperlinks can be more intimidating if you don’t know Powerpoint very well.
  • You get more ways to trigger the command to switch presentations. The commands can be controlled from Companion and Stream Deck, making APS compatible with professional A/V networks. With Hyperlinks you can only start the presentations by pushing the links with the mouse
  • Switching presentations with APS are seamless, whereas with the Hyperlink-method there is no way to avoid displaying the slide with all the hyperlinks. Arguably, you can use a video-switcher to smooth out the transitions, but with APS these things are taken care of within the computer.

Summary: The best way to combine and merge Powerpoint presentations for professional live A/V

In this blogtext we have shown different ways you can merge slides and switch presentations, and if you are a professional A/V technician working with presentations, I think its useful to know all of them:

  • Pasting and reusing slides can be a good solution if you have time to prepare this, and the organizer wants to have all the slides in one presentation
  • APS works great to quickly and seamlessly switch between different presentations with a minimum of preparation
  • Hyperlinks works well if you are experienced with Powerpoint, you like to have a page with links to all your presentations, and you don’t need the seamless transitions between the presentations.

As always, bring different tools to your arsenal, and be prepared for any request the client might have. But before we finish this text I want to repeat one thing: If you decide to paste slides or reuse slides, remember to turn on the setting for Keep Source Formatting. Otherwise the speakers can be in for a surprise when they see the presentation on the projector.

How to Merge Two PowerPoint Presentations Effectively

powerpoint merging presentations

Merging PowerPoint presentations is useful when you need to combine slides from multiple files into one cohesive presentation. For example, you may have created separate presentations for individual topics or sections and now want to bring them together. Or perhaps multiple people have worked on presentations and you need to consolidate their work.

Combining presentations properly ensures the final merged file flows logically and maintains consistent formatting. Follow these best practices to merge presentations like a pro.

Prepare Your Presentations

Before merging, prep your files to make the process smoother:

  • Review slide content – Read through each presentation and ensure they contain the information you want in the final merged presentation. Delete any unnecessary or redundant slides.
  • Organize slides – Reorder slides as needed so the content flows logically when merged. Outline major topics and subtopics to visualize flow.
  • Standardize formats – Use consistent text formatting, fonts, colors, and slide layouts in each presentation when possible. This provides uniformity when merged.
  • Simplify designs – Overly complex slide designs can clash if not identical. Simplify graphics, charts, and SmartArt to facilitate merging.
  • Update slide masters – Modify the slide master to standardize backgrounds, themes, and formatting across presentations.

Merge Presentations

You can combine presentations using two effective methods:

Method 1: Reuse Slides

This feature allows you to quickly merge entire presentations:

  • Open the base presentation you want to merge into
  • Select the New Slide dropdown > Reuse Slides
  • Choose the presentation to merge and pick slides to insert
  • Reformat inserted slides if needed to match base presentation

Method 2: Copy and Paste

For more control over individual slides, copy and paste them instead:

  • Open the base presentation and presentation to copy from side-by-side
  • Select slide(s) to copy and paste into the base presentation
  • Optionally reorder pasted slides as needed
  • Use paste options to match destination formatting

Post-Merge Clean Up

After merging your presentations, finish up with these steps:

  • Review slide order and flow
  • Make sure formatting is consistent
  • Consolidate duplicate information
  • Simplify complex slide designs
  • Proofread text, titles, and labels
  • Update table of contents
  • Save merged presentation

Merge Tips and Tricks

Keep these tips in mind for seamless presentation merging:

  • Merge a copy of presentations instead of originals
  • Outline major topics before merging to visualize flow
  • Reuse shared assets like theme templates and color palettes
  • Use slide masters to quickly standardize formats
  • Annotate slides from different presentations by author name
  • Compare presentations side-by-side to catch inconsistencies

With the right strategy, you can easily combine multiple PowerPoint files into one unified presentation that looks like it was designed that way from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to common questions about merging PowerPoint presentations:

What happens to animations when merging presentations?

Animations and transitions will carry over when using the reuse slides method but not copy-paste. Recheck animations order post-merge.

Do hyperlinks get maintained?

Yes, hyperlinks in inserted slides will remain intact when presentations are merged.

Can I merge presentations created in different versions of PowerPoint?

Yes, you can merge presentations from different PowerPoint versions. The merged version will open in the current version you use.

What if slide formats don’t match between presentations?

Use paste options to match the destination theme when copy-pasting slides. Or standardize formats beforehand through slide masters.

What’s the maximum number of presentations I can merge together?

There is no inherent limit to the number of presentations PowerPoint can handle merging. Just ensure your computer has sufficient processing power and memory for large merges.

How To Merge Multiple PowerPoint Presentations

Gain insights into the time required to merge multiple PowerPoint presentations and optimize your process. With the help of this blog you can utilize your skills to save time and unlock techniques to streamline your workflow.

How To Merge Multiple PowerPoint Presentations

Do you want to merge multiple PowerPoint presentations into a single file?

If you work in sales, customer service, or as an independent consultant, you may need to utilize the same presentation templates in many of your presentations. Of course, you don’t want to keep making the same slides for different presentations.

That’s where Merging slides in PowerPoint comes in handy in creating presentations from previously generated slideshows. You can reuse slides from prior presentations to modify content, strengthen concepts, disprove ideas, or reference facts in your current presentation.

It’s all quite simple. Allow us to demonstrate how to combine PowerPoint into one.

How to merge multiple PowerPoint presentations?

Consider the following four approaches and their associated stages for combining PowerPoints:

  • Reuse PowerPoint Slides
  • Use Insert Object to Merge PowerPoint Files
  • Drag and Drop PowerPoint Slides

1. Reuse PowerPoint Slides

Reusing slides is the simplest technique to incorporate slides from one presentation into another. Using this strategy, you can manage what slides you add and where you place them. The reuse slides approach appears in this example.

1. Open PowerPoint, then open the document to which you wish to add slides.

powerpoint merging presentations

2. Select the location where you wish to add a slide or slides. Then, between two existing slides, click.

powerpoint merging presentations

3. In the ‘Main Menu,’ click the ‘Insert’ tab.

4. Then, on the left side of the menu, click the ‘New Slide’ option.

5. Then choose ‘Reuse Slides.’

powerpoint merging presentations

6. Click the ‘Browse’ button to access the ‘Reuse Slides’ dialog box.

If you click the option next to ‘Keep source formatting,’ the newly added slides will keep their original formatting. When you uncheck the box, their formatting will be changed to match that of the main presentation.

7. Insert your slide here. Browse the presentations and choose the one from which you wish to add the slides, then click ‘Open.’

powerpoint merging presentations

8. The thumbnails of the available slides will be shown. Browse and pick the ones you want to include in your main document. You can import all slides from the external presentation by clicking ‘Insert All Slides.’

powerpoint merging presentations

9. When choosing the slides to include, click the ‘Apply Theme to All Slides’ option to replace the theme of your primary presentation with the theme of the external presentation.

This strategy is perfect for adding a slide or two to your main PowerPoint presentation. This is also the best approach to include bits and pieces from other presentations in your primary presentation. Although you can use this approach to insert all slides from an external presentation, it is preferable to use the ‘Insert Object’ option.

2. Use Insert Object to Merge PowerPoint Files

If you wish to insert all slides from an external presentation while keeping the animations and transitions between them, the insert object method is your best solution.

Keep in mind that after the slides are included in your new presentation, they will no longer be connected to the original file. As a result, any modifications you make to the original file will have no effect on the slides you include in your primary presentation.

If you update the slides in your primary presentation, the external file from which those slides were transferred will stay untouched. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way let’s look at how the insert object technique works.

1. Open PowerPoint and the main presentation.

powerpoint merging presentations

2. Add a new slide. Delete the text fields since they should be empty.

powerpoint merging presentations

3. In the Main Menu, choose the ‘Insert’ tab.

4. Select the ‘Object’ option.

powerpoint merging presentations

5. The ‘Insert Object’ dialog box will appear. Choose the ‘Create from file’ option there.

powerpoint merging presentations

6. Double-click on the external presentation that you want to include in your primary one.

powerpoint merging presentations

7. Following that, you will only view the first slide of the imported presentation. The remaining slides are below, though you can’t see them right now.

8. To prevent changes in the size of the slides after the presentation is played, stretch the added object to suit the size of the slide of your main presentation.

After inserting the complete item into your main presentation, you can alter and tweak it to ensure it performs well.

3. Drag and Drop PowerPoint Slides

A drag-and-drop approach is one of the simplest methods to integrate two presentations. If you have two different presentations that you want to combine ppt, or if you are working on a collective project, you can use this feature to do so.

1. Open both presentations on your PC or Mac, and ensure that the PowerPoint software is minimized so that you can view both at the same time.

powerpoint merging presentations

2. Long-press the slide you want to relocate and drag it to its new location with your mouse. You might need to do this for each slide; luckily, you can also select all of them by clicking on the first slide, holding down the ‘Shift’ key, and then clicking on the final slide.

powerpoint merging presentations

3. The slide’s position will be highlighted with a red line. To make things even easier, your final presentation will be updated to match the design of the receiving document. Of course, you can always change the overall look of the document by clicking the ‘Design’ button at the top of your presentation.

How to Combine Multiple PowerPoint Presentations

There are 2 different ways, depending on how you want them to appear

Author avatar

Do you have multiple PowerPoint presentations that you need to combine or merge into one presentation? I’ve had to do this myself a couple of times and one of the most important aspects when merging presentations is whether you want to maintain the format and theme of the inserted presentation or have it match the theme of the main presentation. The second most important factor is whether you need to maintain any animations and transitions that might be included in the inserted presentation.

Depending on how you want the inserted slides to appear in the main presentation, you will need to choose between two different methods for joining the presentations. In this article, I’ll mention both methods along with the advantages and disadvantages for each method.

The first method uses the Reuse Slides option in PowerPoint and the second method uses the Insert Object option.

Reuse Slides Method

If you want the inserted slides to match the theme of your main presentation, then you have to use the Reuse Slides option. The inserted slides will simply take the slides exactly as they are in the external presentation and add them to the main presentation.

However, there is one big caveat: none of the animations or transitions will be carried over. Whatever you see on the slide in the normal viewing mode is what will get imported into the main presentation.

If you need to maintain all the animations or transitions, then skip down to the Insert Object method.

To get started with this method, open the main presentation and then click between the two slides you want to import the slides into. It’s worth nothing that this method also lets you pick and choose which slides you want to insert from an external presentation, whereas the Insert Object method will insert the entire presentation.

insert slide

Now click on the Insert menu and then click on the words New Slide  and you’ll see a menu appear. At the very bottom of that menu is an option called Reuse Slides .

reuse slides

When you click on that, a tab will appear on the right hand side. Click on the Browse button and then select Browse File . Check the Keep source formatting  box if you want keep the theme and text formatting of the external presentation.

If you uncheck that box, then when you go to insert the slides into the main presentation, the original formatting will not be kept. Instead the slides will use the theme and formatting of the main presentation.

insert slide from

Select the PowerPoint Presentation you want to insert and then click OK. Immediately, you should see a small thumbnail and the title of each slide displayed.

insert slides from ppt

As you can see above, the second presentation has a different theme than my first presentation. There are a number of things you can do at this point. Firstly, if you just want to insert one slide or a couple of slides from your external presentation, simply click on the slide and it will be inserted!

The formatting will depend on whether you checked the Keep source formatting box like I explained above. As shown below, I inserted just one slide from the external presentation and kept the source formatting.

powerpoint inserted slides

It will be inserted wherever you had clicked earlier with the red line. If you want to insert all the slides, just select the Insert All Slide s option that comes up when you right-click on any of the slides.

Lastly, you can apply the theme used in the external presentation to your main presentation by right-clicking and choosing Apply Theme to All Slides . This will apply the external presentation theme to the main presentation.

As mentioned earlier, you lose all animations, effects, transitions, etc when using this method. Now let’s talk about the other way to merge two presentations.

Insert Object Method

The second method will insert the entire external presentation into one slide as an object. You then have to configure some settings so that when you run your slideshow, it also runs through all the slides in the external presentation.

There are a couple of things that need to be mentioned before we get into how to use this method:

1. When you insert the presentation as an object, it is not a link to the presentation, but an actual full copy into the main presentation. This means that if you open the external presentation later after inserting it into the main presentation and make changes to it, those changes will not be reflected in the imported version inside the main presentation.

2. If you do want to make changes to an already inserted presentation, you can edit it inside the main presentation. Again, those changes are only made to the version inside the main presentation.

In my opinion, this method is better than the Reuse Slides method because it lets you keep all your animations and transitions and it allows you to change or keep the theme of the inserted presentation.

To get started, open the main presentation and then insert a new slide. Make sure to delete any default text boxes or anything else on the new slide so that it is completely blank.

add new slide

Now click on the Insert tab and then click on Object .

insert object into slide

Select the Create from file radio button and click the Browse button. Select the external presentation you want to insert into your main presentation.

insert 2nd powerpoint

You’ll now see the first slide of the presentation inserted as a selectable object. All of the other slides are there, but you just can’t see them.

stretch window to slide

The next step is to move your cursor to the upper left corner of the inserted object until it turns into a double sided arrow. Click and then drag the corner to the upper left corner of the main slide. Now do the same thing with the bottom right corner of the object and drag it to the bottom right corner on the main slide.

Now the inserted object should be the exact same size as the slide that it was inserted onto. You want to do this so that there won’t be any change in the size of the slides when you are playing the presentation.

Once that is setup, we have to configure the second presentation to play when we hit that slide that we inserted the presentation into. To do this, select the object, click on the Animations ribbon, click on Add Animation and then scroll all the way to the bottom where it says OLE Action Verbs .

ole action verbs

Another dialog will pop up and you want to choose Show . If you were to play the presentation at this point, you would notice that when you reach the slide with the inserted presentation, it will show all the slides in the inserted presentation, but it will also include a still slide of the first slide at the front and back of the inserted presentation.

add show action verb

This was kind of annoying to me and luckily you can almost get rid of it. First, click on Animations again and then click on Animation Pane , which will show up at the right.

animation pane

In the Animation Pane, you will see the inserted object listed as Object 1 or Object 2, etc. and when you select it, there will be a small black arrow you can click on. This will bring up a few options and then first one you want to select is Start With Previous .

start with previous

Now when you play the presentation, it won’t show you that still image of the first slide but will actually play the first slide from the external presentation. To get rid of the still image at the end of the presentation, you have to select Effect Options from the menu above and then select Hide After Animation from the After animation dropdown box.

hide after animation

It’s not perfect because it still shows you the empty slide that the inserted presentation was put once before the presentation ends. Luckily, I found a simple hack for this too that works really well. Simply add something to the slide that has the external presentation object like a text box or whatever you like and then right-click on the object and choose Send to Back .

send to back

This will effectively hide the object behind the presentation object. Now when you play your presentation, it will hide the presentation object after the last slide because that is what we chose in the After animation option. When the presentation object is hidden, you’ll see any content that was hidden under it. It’s a great way to avoid having that blank slide show up during the presentation.

One last thing I wanted to mention was about editing the inserted presentation. You can right-click anywhere on the object and choose Presentation Object – Edit to edit any slide in the inserted presentation directly within the main presentation.

edit presentation

Hopefully, this was a detailed enough tutorial for anyone wanting to merge, combine or insert one PowerPoint presentation into another. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!

How to merge multiple PowerPoint presentations.

Turn any jumble of slides into one seamless, beautiful presentation. This is how to merge PowerPoint presentations together in just a few simple steps.

Planning and running an event with multiple speakers requires lengthy checklists, a degree in plate spinning and a lot of caffeine. Between finding a venue that is easily accessible by public transport and within spitting distance of the nearest bar, executing an agenda that the Swiss would be envious of, and ensuring the guest list is more impressive than a royal wedding, you have little energy or time left to reformat and redesign everyone’s slides.

Getting your hands on all the presentations before the deadline is challenging enough and when you come to create your master file, you could do with merging them quickly and easily. So, why does PowerPoint have other ideas? What should be a simple copy and paste leads to previously beautiful slides looking like something even Mary Shelley couldn’t dream up .

Don’t panic: you just need to make a small adjustment, and you’ll be one step closer to perfectly merged PowerPoint presentations and a seamless event in no time at all.

Don't panic when merging PowerPoint presentations

How to merge PowerPoint presentations

  • Start by opening the two (or more) presentations that you need to combine.
  • In any one of the decks, select all the slides that you want to transfer across.
  • Right click and select Copy .
  • Moving across into the other presentation, right-click where the copied slides need to go and select Paste .

So far, this is exactly what you were doing anyway, right?

I’m not here to teach your grandmother how to suck eggs. Here’s the magic ingredient.

The Paste options icon.

keep source formatting when merging 2 PowerPoint presentations

It’s small, and it’s really easy to miss, but every time you paste an object in PowerPoint, it appears.

  • Now all you need to do is select Keep Source Formatting from the options and voilà! Your slides will magically reformat and look like their old selves again.
  • Repeat until you’ve combined all your presentations and all that is left to do is sit back, have a glass of wine and enjoy the event rather than nervously watching the slides.

Select Keep Source Formatting from the options and voilà! Your slides will magically reformat and look like their old selves again

Sizing up the problem

Hold that thought for just a moment. Are some of your slides still looking more stretched than Mr Fantastic  after a hot yoga class ?

Think back – did you tell the speakers to build their slides in 16:9 ratio? Uh oh.

Even though PowerPoint itself doesn’t recognise this technological evolution and still considers 4:3 to be ‘standard’, the only modern use for this archaic slide size is to present on iPad .

Do you want your speakers to present their slides to a concert hall by holding up an iPad? No? Your slides should probably be 16:9 then.

You can fix the problem, but it’s not going to be easy – unless you have a time machine?

If not, settle back down at your computer. You can still have that glass of wine though.

When PowerPoint scales 4:3 to 16:9, images become stretched to fit, while content remains stuck in the centre of the slide. All in all, not a good look.

The first thing to do is turn on your guides: right click on your slide and tick Guides .

Using the original 4:3 design as a reference, move the guides as to where titles, subtitles, footers, and any other repeated elements should sit on your (now larger) canvas. Now all there is to do is apply a little artistic flair and start rearranging everything.

I said it wasn’t going to be easy.

Anything that holds the same position throughout, such as company logos, can be copied and pasted for ease, but most elements will need to be reformatted manually.

If your speakers have used ‘Format Background’ to add background images, you will need to ask them to send over the original imagery, so that you can reinsert these to no longer look like a reflection in a funhouse mirror.

If this wasn’t the answer you were hoping for, the simple solution is to provide technical specifications to your speakers before they begin. Sorry.

Your slides are now looking good, but there are a few more things to consider to ensure there are no hiccups on the night.

Large PowerPoint files can end up running at a snail’s pace, and potentially even crash. When you’re merging multiple PowerPoint presentations into one file, the MBs can quickly add up. You don’t want to start dictating the type of content people can have in their presentations, but when they use full-length videos for just a short clip or high-resolution imagery but crop it down to a few centimetres, the presentation is still carrying all the weight of the original file.

PowerPoint can trim all this excess for you. There is an easy-to-use compression tool within PowerPoint. You don’t have to pay or learn to use expert software such as Photoshop to achieve this. Simply select Compress Pictures and adjust your compression options based on your specific needs.

compress pictures PowerPoint

Setting the resolution at 150ppi will create the perfect look with none of the excess file size.

compression options PowerPoint

As if that wasn’t helpful enough, PowerPoint has another tool for compressing video, which can be found by clicking into File and then Info .

Under Media Size and Performance , select Compress Media .

As with imagery resolution, we find that compressing media to Internet Quality works perfectly for presentations.

If you want to know how to make your PowerPoint files even smaller, you can get more tips from our in-depth post on reducing file size .

If you’re still finding that your file is lagging, it might be time to take a coffee break.

Using scheduled intervals to break up the file, as well as the day, can be a seamless way to separate the presentation into smaller files without anyone noticing you’re making the switch.

If you’ve done everything above and PowerPoint is still crashing, try reading our nine helpful tips to combat this frustration .

Provide a framework

But what if you don’t want a hodgepodge presentation, jumbled with different brands, fonts and colours? After all, you planned this event. It was your late nights and lengthy email chains that went into its creation. Shouldn’t it be your branding on the slides?

Having a template created in advance can put the control back in your hands.

Having a template created in advance can put the control back in your hands.

You could set the styling rules so that every slide strictly adheres to your branding, or you could create a loose framework where the speakers can be free to add their branded elements, but your mark is still on every slide.

Adding a placeholder for a composite logo can be an efficient method for creating cohesion between partnering brands, without adding extra work.

By providing all your speakers with a template, you can ensure consistency across all the presentations – no titles jumping around from slide to slide or fonts mysteriously getting bigger as you progress through.

You will also be able to rest easy knowing the template has been built at the correct slide size for the screen, the default text size is big enough to read from the back of the room and you won’t have to merge PowerPoint presentations together at the end.

And if they do manage to get a little ‘creative’ with their formatting?

A quick reset of the slides will put them all perfectly back in place.

reset slides PowerPoint

As with any aspect of event planning, the smoothest presentations require a little advanced preparation. By adding these few items to your checklist, you’ll reduce last-minute panics and swiftly end up with a full set of slides that look great and run to perfection.

If you are working on a presentation with your clients or even a co-worker, then you might end up in a situation where you both did not work on the same copy, one after the other. Instead, you worked on two different copies. These copies may contain changes done by you both, some similar and some different. Now, you need to compare and merge these copies into a single, cohesive file without losing any edits.

Yes, you can manually compare side by side, as explained in our Compare Presentations in PowerPoint 2016 tutorial. This option works great if there are very few changes. For anything more involved, you will want to use the Compare feature that combines two presentations provided by you, and then shows you differences between them. You can then decide which changes to include, or discard within the final version of your presentation.

Compare Two or More Presentations?

You can only compare and merge two copies of a presentation. However, the same presentations can have multiple authors and that's OK and PowerPoint has no problem comparing or merging in such cases.

Follow these steps to compare and merge presentations in PowerPoint 2016 for Windows :

  • Before you start, you'll need to have one version of the presentation open. It does not matter which of the two you want to open first.
  • Then, access the Review tab of the Ribbon , and click the Compare button, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 1 , below.

Compare button

  • Doing so opens the Choose File to Merge with Current Presentation dialog box, as shown in Figure 2 , below.

Choose File to Merge with Current Presentation dialog box

  • Navigate to the other version of this presentation, select it and click the Merge button, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 2 , above.
  • This action will open the other version of the presentation and merge with the presentation you opened first. Along with this, the Revisions Task Pane will appear, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 3 , below.
  • Notice that the Task Pane displays two types of changes: Slide Changes and Presentation Changes . While the former relate to only the active slide, the latter pertains to the entire presentation. You'll see that the active slide, as shown in Figure 3 , below, has no changes, but the overall presentation does have some changes. We will explore these changes later, on this page.

Revisions Task Pane

PowerPoint Tracks Everything

  • PowerPoint automatically keeps track of differences between the original presentation and the revised version.
  • Navigate from slide to slide. Notice that you see several changes in the slide, as shown in Figure 4 , below.

Changes displayed on the Revisions Task Pane

  • As shown in Figure 4 , above, note that these changes are listed in the Task Pane, as shown highlighted in red . Click on any of the changes within this list, and the concerned slide object gets highlighted, as shown in Figure 5 , below. Additionally, each selected slide object has a comment placed next to it, along with a check-box.

Change highlighted

  • Now, select the check-box next to each revision you want to accept. In Figure 6 , below, you can see that one such check-box is selected and the change is instantly displayed. To reject a change, simply leave the check-box unselected.

Select the check-box to accept the change

  • You can also click on the Slides tab of the Revisions Task Pane to see a more visual representation of the changes, as shown in Figure 7 , below. Here all changes on the slide are shown per reviewer. Thus, you can quickly accept or reject all changes by selecting the check-box, placed in front of the reviewer's name, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 7 .

Accept all changes by a reviewer

  • Follow these steps on each slide to accept or reject the changes shown.
  • Thereafter, look into the Presentation Changes area on the Revisions Task Pane. Similarly select any of the changes shown here, and a similar comment will show up on the Slides Pane (if there are new or deleted slides), as shown in Figure 8 , below. Accept or reject changes as required.

Changes for the Presentation

  • Once done with accepting and rejecting all changes, navigate to the Review tab of the Ribbon, then click the End Review button, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 9 , below.

End Review button

  • This will apply all the accepted and rejected changes to the presentation.
  • Save your presentation. Alternatively, save with a new name. To do so, choose the File | Save As menu option.

Compare More Than 2 Presentations?

What if you need to compare more than 2 presentations? PowerPoint only allows you to compare 2 presentations at a time, but if you have 3 or more presentations to compare, follow these steps:

  • Compare the first and second presentations. Save changes as a new presentation file.
  • Now, compare this new presentation file with the third presentation.
  • Repeat steps 1 and 2 mentioned above, for any further presentations.

How to Merge PowerPoint Online (Step-by-Step Guide)

Merging slides is valuable to a wide range of individuals, including students, professors, and corporate professionals. It proves especially useful when incorporating slides from one presentation into another. This approach allows you to bring forward relevant concepts from the source presentation while revisiting and revitalizing previous information. In this article, we will provide clear guidance on how to merge PowerPoint online effectively.

Why is Merging PowerPoint Important?

When you merge slides within PowerPoint, you harness the capability to create presentations using your pre-existing slideshows. Through this approach, you not only revise and reinforce information but also effectively refute theories and reference data from previous slideshows, seamlessly integrating them into your new presentation. This method becomes particularly useful when tailoring presentations for distinct audiences while addressing the same topic.

PowerPoint's merging features enable the integration of information, maintaining consistency in your content and enhancing the efficiency of your presentation creation process. As a result, you save time, enhance clarity and professionalism, and ultimately create more engaging and effective presentations that resonate with your intended audience.
