How do I combine different presentations in one .ppt?

[JamesMack]

I need desperately to combine several different presentations within one 'overall' presentation.
These each have different 'styles'.
Each time I import the latest pres takes on the style of the previous pres!
Help!!

Thanks Brad, unfortunately I've tried this only to find the imported slides change format (eg background colour/style) to that of the first presentation.
I need to be able to preserve each set of slides original format.

In that case your best bet is to link the last slide of one presentation to the next presentation.

Thanks for the response xlhelp, but how do I do this?

What you would need to is if there is a textbox on the slide you would use that, or failing that, you would draw a blank rectangle almost the size of the slide and Insert a hyperlink to that by either right clicking on it or using the Insert, Hyperlink command while the rectangle is highlighted. Once you do that you will have a dialog box asking you for the link. You would click the File button and browse to your presentation.

It helps if the presenttations are in the same folder.

Many thanks, that's done the trick!
