importing existing slides into presentations

[Ben Taylor]

I am workining with Powerpoint 2000. I have a whole
bunch of individual presentations that I use a lot in
different presentations. Unfortunately, I can't import
them and keep all of the formatting that they had. How
do I fix that? The crazy thing is that some
presentations that I import keep all their formatting,
while others just take on the formatting of the master
slide. I looked for help in the powerpoint section of
microsoft. The two that looked like they could help me

box that they are telling me to use. Thanx for your time.

Ben,

PowerPoint 2000 does not support multiple templates/styles/masters etc

So for workarounds see
