[Solved] Combining several slide presentations

Post by rekamtah »

Does OpenOffice Impress have a method for combining several unique slide Presentations into one.
Example: P1+P2+P3+P4 for Show1. P2+P4 for Show2. P1+P3+P4 for Show3 etc. We have approximately 100 Px slide presentations that we combine in various configurations on a monthly basis. (OO 4.1.14 on windows 11)

Fast workaround tip:

Delete the actually unwanted slides from a COPY(!!!) of the all-slides version of the .odp file.

The LibreOffice (and the OpenOffice) has a Custom Slide Show feature:

The Custom Slide Show does certainly allow named presentations be made from selections from a large number of slides in the one giant presentation

I have not time at present to investigate if there is a method to build such a grouping of slides from several separate presentation - perhaps later I'll have time to investigate.

Easier than I thought; in Impress, use /Insert /File and add each presentation. There will be modifications made if differing styles are used - these you must cope with yourself.

Thank You. I am trying to put together several lyrics "cue" cards for several commonly heard songs for group participation. The songs have been broken up into several slides and I am trying to put together different programs with the content adjusted for different audiences.
