MORE INFORMATION

To start PowerPoint and insert one or more presentation files into a single new presentation file, follow these steps:

1. Create three PowerPoint files. For example, create three files 

   called Start.ppt, Middle.ppt, and Finish.ppt. Save these files in
   the My Documents folder.
2. On the Start menu, click Run.

3. In the Open box, type the following command: 

      powerpnt -i c:\My Documents\start.ppt c:\My Documents
      \middle.ppt c:\My Documents\finish.ppt

   NOTE: The above command is one path; it has been wrapped for
readability.

4. Click OK. 

   PowerPoint starts and creates a new presentation that contains
   copies of all the slides from Start.ppt, Middle.ppt, and
   Finish.ppt.
NOTE: This presentation is not based on any of the templates that ship with PowerPoint; however, you can, apply the template you want after PowerPoint creates the presentation.
