    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….

    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?

    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?
