When a large number of people are working on various PowerPoint presentations, then they have to combine all in the end. It is a difficult task and the first reason is the format. If the group is not in sync, then it can be a difficult task to combine them in the same format. Microsoft PowerPoint provides in-house solutions, including Excel and Word, which is going to allow us to mix several presentations, keeping the format integral. The correct way to do this is to ask the group to apply the precise theme. Ensure to customize themes in one file and share it with everybody. If you want to combine files, then this post might be useful for you. Read through the blog and follow the instructions to Combine Two PowerPoint Presentations.
How to Merge Multiple Presentations
There are 3 ways to mix multiple PowerPoint files. The primary one is better when you have little numbers, and protecting the format is the initial goal. The second one can merge infinite numbers of files present in the folder.
Reuse Slides Process
Microsoft PowerPoint provides the inbuilt tool named as Reuse Slides. It enables one to import particular or group of slides to a presentation from another without even to launch other files. As you select the option, ensure to choose the choice to format, mostly if you need to have a similar theme as the source document.

It will import all the files and the slides accessible on the folder though it may lose the formatting. This is the main issue with the code. However, it can combine the number of files, which is the major advantage. Ensure to delete the VBA code as the import is finish.
Copy Paste Slides
You can use it when you have a large number of files, mostly 3, and if you need to copy a few slides from it. As you may apply Ctrl + C or Ctrl + V, however, then you will misplace the formatting. Then as you copy slides, right-click on a slide list menu of a destination document, then choose to keep the format. Ensure to select between the several documents to combine and the theme of the slide according to you.
