How to easily import slides from another presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint 2019, 2016 or Office 365 with these instructions.
- Open PowerPoint and open the file you wish to import slides into.
- Select the “Home” menu.
- Choose “New Slide” > “Reuse Slides…“.
- The “Reuse Slides” options will appear on the right side. Select “Browse…“.
- Navigate to the file that you wish to import slides from. Select it, then choose “Open“.
- Locate and select the slide(s) you wish to import. If you wish to keep the formatting of the imported slides, select the “Keep source formatting” check box.
If you accidentally import an unwanted slide, use the CTRL + X keyboard shortcut to undo the last change or right-click the slide and select “Delete Slide“.

Importing into a new theme… but some remanats of the old background still exist and are imported even though the keep source formatting button is unchecked. I just want the header and the content/text/formulas….
Maria Oliveira says
Please note that in the REUSE SLIDE choice there is no BROWSE button.
So how do we insert the slides from the presentation of choice?
Jocelyn Hughes says
I have a problem in that Notes Pages for Reuse slides are no longer A4 and so footer and page numbers appear “off page”. Why does Reuse change the size of the paper of the inserted slides?
