One Window - Multiple Powerpoint Presentations

     If you've created Powerpoint presentation, or received some from other individuals, chances are you may want to use slides from one or several Powerpoint files to create a new Powerpoint tailored to the audience you'll be communicating with.

     However, when you open multiple Powerpoints, they all open in the same window, causing confusion when minimizing and maximizing the files as necessary to copy from one and paste to another.

     To allow more than one presentation to be open in the Powerpoint "window," Open all the Powerpoint presentations you are going to work with.  Then, on any one of them, go to the main menu bar and click "Tools," then "Options," and under the "View" tab, UNcheck "Windows in Taskbar."  This will allow you to "fit" as many presentations as you can into one window.  Then, open a new Powerpoint presentation, fit it in the window, and copy the slides into the new presentation without all that minimizing and maximizing.
