Re: [libreoffice-users] [Copying slides from one presentation to another]
Hi Anne and all: Well, if you are using GNU / Linux and open each Presentation From the file browser I'm almost sure that you can keep both open and then select the slides from one Presentation to the other (Selecting all that you want to into the other with copy-paste). I know that it is better using an option insert from the own program but if it isn't able or finding, this other would be solve your problem (If it exist yet). I think that using windows the process is the same, I guess. I hope this help, Regards, Jorge Rodríguez El 17/04/2018 a las 09:19, anne-ology escribió: Thanks for responding.

You can select one or all the slides from a presentation. It is the feature which was available until LibreOffice 5.2 under Insert > File which has been moved to the Slide menu since LibreOffice 5.3. As an alternative you can Select All slides in the Slide Sorter view, Copy them (Ctrl+C) and Paste them in the other presentation (Ctrl+V) in the Slide Sorter view.

This can be done with LO 5.1.6.3 (which is what I use), but it apparently is missing in later versions. I can understand and appreciate Anne's frustration that a former functionality seems to have been deliberately removed from the program (unless it has just been moved to another location on the menu, which nobody seems to have been able to find). Yes, a person can copy and paste select slides, but that is hardly a satisfactory answer when she used to be able to insert an entire file and can no longer do so.

Thank you for this information; so sad that it was removed, & now hoping that you might know which LO edition last had this option so I might change to that one.

Hi Luuk and all: Why not only select the slides that you want to input into the other presentation and copy-paste ? I did it in Impress - LibreOffice version: 4.2.8.2 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and went well.

yes, Thank You so much for verifying what I was attempting to express. What you're able to do on your machine is what I was able to do, but for some reason am no longer able to so do.

Re: [libreoffice-users] [Copying slides from one presentation to another]
I'm confused as to the flow of the discussion, and I'm not at all sure I know what the issue is, but I have no problem inserting an entire Impress presentation into another Impress presentation. Here's how I do it with LO 5.1.6 on my Linux Mint machine: First, I open one Impress presentation file. I then make sure that the "Slide Panel" is visible by clicking on the menu "View", "Slide Panel" I then click on the slide in the Slide Panel where I want to insert another Impress presentation, keeping in mind that the inserted presentation will appear *after* the slide I click on in the Slide Panel. From my experience, inserting a second presentation only works if my cursor focus is in the Slide Panel. Then, on the menu, I click "Insert", "File...", which on my machine is down toward the bottom of the Insert menu list. From the resulting dialog box, I select the Impress presentation I want to insert and then I am presented with another dialog box from which I can select certain slides from the inserting file. If I want the entire presentation, I simply click on "Ok," and the file is inserted into the original presentation file after the slide I had selected in my Slide Panel.

Do you mean that you could edit slides from different presentations into a single presentation? Surely you can simply copy slides from the Slides panel in one document and paste them into the Slides panel of the other document? Doesn't that still work for you? [yes, it allowed me to insert each PP into one; in fact, that's one of the main reasons I preferred LO to any of these others. I still think it is unhelpful to talk of installing an entire presentation document (your definition of "PP") into another. So I think you do mean combining slides from one presentation document into another. And you are far away from the truth if you think this is (was?) possible only in LibreOffice: it is certainly possible in Apache OpenOffice and presumably also in Microsoft Powerpoint. It would be a poor presentation program that did not allow this. And you don't have to copy them piecemeal: you can select, copy, and paste multiple slides - perhaps all the slides in a document. ok, How can I see the slide panel of the other PP when only the one PP is open?; are you saying, it's possible to somehow open LO more than once? Generally no, but you don't need to: you need just to have two documents open at once. You have two windows open in the same instance of LibreOffice. That is certainly possible, and is part of the purpose of windowing operating systems - as all modern systems are. wow, I can't image what this screen would even look like if I had 1/2 dozen LOs open at one time.] For the present problem, you need one instance of LibreOffice and two separate document windows - not half a dozen of anything. Don't you do this sort of thing all the time? I currently happen to have open my browser, my office suite, a plain text editor, the Windows Settings panel, and my mail client. The limitation of one program (and perhaps one document) surely went out with DOS? But this feature seems to be lacking now ... If you explained how you did it before, someone may be able to comment on whether your method is still available. [hopefully - thank you.] Er, but you haven't responded to this point: you *still* haven't said exactly what you did before that you believe is no longer available. Which menu? What menu item? What process? Yes, I can see how to insert images, ... but not how to insert PPs. Hold on: if a "PP" is a presentation document, you cannot insert an entire document into something else. Indeed, what other sort of document would you be trying to insert it into? So a "PP" cannot be a presentation and no-one will know what you are talking about. [ah, but it was quite possible in the LO 3:] As I keep saying, I think it is unhelpful to think of inserting one document into another. What I am still guessing you mean is inserting some or all of the slides from one presentation document into another. Whatever was possible before, surely you can open both documents at the same time (one instance of LibreOffice; two separate document windows) and copy and paste slides from one document to the other? (Yes, you can!) I trust this helps.
