Creating a Presentation from an Existing Presentation. Let's say you presented a really great presentation, you spent days working on your PowerPoint slides, they included a number of graphics and custom features that you spent a lot of time on, and now it's time to create a new presentation. However, you really don't want to start from scratch. You would like to use your old presentation and kind of adapt it to the new content. Can you do it? Sure you can, no problem. In PowerPoint, if you will click file, go to new to open the new presentation task pane, you will see an option for "new from existing presentation," and then you see the option to click "choose presentation" and if you click that, what you get is a standard Windows browse dialog box. Now what you want to do is browse through your folders, locate the presentation that you want. Now my presentation that I want to use is called "my ideas." It's located on my desktop and I am going to select it and click create new. Now what you see on your screen at first might seem a little bit confusing because, after all, what it looks like here is your original presentation that you simply opened, but that's not what has happened. If you will look, you have a new file name at the top; this is called presentation number 8, and yours may vary depending on how my presentations you've recently created. But what you see is your old presentation with a new file name, and what that means is you can begin changing your old presentation and adapting your new content without changing anything in the old presentation. So basically all I do is click through my slides, make the changes that I want, and when I am done I click file - save as. Now notice that it has given it a basic file name, which is the title, and here you see my old presentation. Now nothing has changed in the old presentation. I've simply created a new file based on everything I did here, when I click save it's going to save my new presentation, and if I minimize this and take a look on my desktop, I have my old presentation here and here is my new presentation. As you can see I have two different files, the old presentation remains exactly as it should have been, and nothing has changed. This can save you some time and effort because you can easily reuse material without destroying your original file.
