NER: PowerPoint Help

I'm making a presentation for the law firm for an internal meeting.

Within the presentation, made with the lawfirm formatting, I'm to insert a presentation from the bank I used to work with (the bank is our client, I didn't steal any presentations, just a coincidence).  It's I guess to say 'this is what the bank is saying'.

How do I c&p the slides from the bank presenation to the law firm presentation while keeping all of the formatting from the bank presentation?  I've printed to pdf the bank presentation to c&p as pictures to cover the whole slide, but the sizing is off.

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA!

Re: NER: PowerPoint Help

  • Normally I would suggest the Insert slide option but I think it inserts the slides and changes the format to the presentation you are inserting them into. Instead of print to pdf, did you try saving as a jpg? PowerPoint saves slides as a lower res jpg but if you have photoshop you can open the jpg and fix the resolution. I have also printed to a high quality pdf and then saved the pdf as a jpg.

    If you do "INSERT" --> Object and then insert the old PP, does it mess up the formatting?

     

    Zoe is correct, you insert an object then select the PPT you want to use.  Do not select to make it an icon or a link and it will just be the first slide of the other presentation in your PPT.  When you're in presentation mode, all you have to do is click on the other presentation and it'll go to it, then when it's done you'll go back to your PPT.

    Inserting still puts it in the lawfirm format.  I'll try the jpg thing...

  • The jpg still makes them the wrong proportions for whatever reason, so instead of making them the entire slide, I put them as a picture with the law firm border still there, so it's like:

     LAW FIRM TOP BORDER

          Slide

     

                                   bank logo

                                                               Law firm logo

     

    Thanks all!

  • Can you try copying and pasting in an applicable slide master with that different formatting, then inserting the actual slide and Right Click > Edit Layout > (choose that layout)?

    I can't choose that layout b/c we don't own it. :)

    My boss said the way I did it was good, though. We just need it to be obvious that we didn't create those slides.
