Unless the PP slides contain active elements, I would think printing the PP slides to PDF and importing those by reference would be considerably better. Perhaps there is a reason not to do this, but it sure works great here.

My solution would be to print to file full width (Letter/A4 - sadly printing will not (Office 2003) print landscape) and then crop top and bottom all pages. After that FM should be able to import by ref. Any other ideas would be interesting to hear.
