Adding, renaming, and removing slides

Adding a new slide

There are several equivalent ways to add a slide to a presentation:

• Select Insert > Slide (works in Normal and Outline view).

• Right-click on the Slides pane and select New Slide from the pop-

up menu (works in Normal, Outline, and Notes view).

• Right-click on the main work area while in Slide Sorter view and

select New Slide from the pop-up menu.

• On the work area in Normal view, right-click on the active slide

and select Slide > New Slide.

The new slide is inserted after the current slide or in the position

where the mouse was clicked.

If multiple slide masters exist, the new slide will apply the master of

the previous slide in the sequence.

Inserting a slide from another presentation

You can insert slides from other presentations in three ways:

• Using Insert > File. With this method, you can optionally

link

the

slides instead of copying (embedding) them into the presentation.

• Copying and pasting.

• Dragging and dropping, to copy or move slides.

To insert a slide from another presentation:

1) In Normal view, select the slide after which you want to insert the

new slide, then choose Insert > File from the menu bar.

2) In the file browser, locate the file containing the slide that you

want to insert, and click Insert.

3) In the Insert Slides/Objects dialog box (Figure 136), click the plus

sign next to the icon for the presentation file, and then select the

slides that you want to insert. (You can see that the slides would

be easier to select if they had more descriptive names.)

4) Optionally select the Link checkbox.

5) Click OK. The slides are inserted after the selected slide in the

presentation.
