Hello all as many of you may know I'm a corprate mofo now and I have to do PP presentation.

What I want to do is use the background from an existing slide from another presentation and use just the background of presentation A for presention B.

thanks!!

it's been a while but, you should be able to find the background and isolate it (copy). then use it in another pp.

is it an image your using like a pic..


well if you can make it as big as the slide you can put the order of that image as i belive.. first.. but mess with the order of the pics until its on the bottom of everything so you can put words and crapola on it

Office assistant says:

When you create a new template (design template: A file that contains the styles in a presentation, including the type and size of bullets and fonts; placeholder sizes and positions; background design and fill color schemes; and a slide master and optional title master.), it appears in the Slide Design task pane (task pane: A window within an Office application that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you to use these commands while still working on your files.) the next time you open Microsoft PowerPoint, in alphabetical order under Available for Use.

On the File menu, click New.
In the New Presentation task pane, under New, click From existing presentation, select the presentation you want, and then click Create New. (This preserves your original presentation.)
Delete any text, slides, or design elements that you don't want to be part of the new template, and apply any changes that you do want in the template.
On the File menu, click Save As.
In the File name box, type a name for your template.
In the Save as type box, click Design Template.
Click Save.

Hope that helps.

it's automatic.

Another way is to open the existing presentation and under the task bar "view" choose "slide master" you should then be able to select and copy the background you want. Start a new presentation and also go into the slide master and paste in the background.
