Quick way of importing layouts?

Post by New Daddy »

I thought when you import a theme -- through Design-Browse for Themse --, the layouts in that file come alone with the theme. I guess I was wrong.

What then is the quickest way to import layouts from another template or file?

You could just import the slides using the Reuse Slides in the New Slide drop down.
As long as the source PPT includes slides with the layout you want to import, the Reuse slides will bring the layout into the destination PPT.

Alternatively, you can tile the two PPT's next to each other, show Master slide view and drag slides between the PPT's.

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

So that's basically the most advanced way of importing layouts after so many iterations of Powerpoint? Unbelievable.

It's not the most advanced way...just one old and quick way to do it.
I prefer the less advanced methods :wink:
