Inserting and Moving Slides within the Slide Show

Inserting Slides into a Slide Show

Moving Slides within a Slide Show

Sometimes you might want to use slides from another slide show in you current slide show. To do this you would insert the slides into the current slide show. When you insert slides, the inserted slides conform to the color and design of the current slide show. After insertion, you might need to move the slides to different positions. This is best done from the Slide Sorter View.
