slide within a slide

[Stephanie-812]

I would like to insert/embed one slind into another slide, but not a
miniature- I want to be able to edit it after. I have got as far as insert-
object- microsoft pp slide. It sets it up for me fine and I 'paste special'
another slide into it fine, but when I click off the 'edit mode' it losses
the pasted slide and is blank. I have tried a number of other ways with no
luck. can anyone suggest a correct way for this procedure? I have a
presentation from someone else (who is no longer with the company) with this
working and can not figure out how they did it. I am desperate for an
solution.
Thank for anyones thoughts on this!!

Go to slide sorter view.
Copy a slide
Go to another presentation in normal view
Edit/Paste Special. Choose PPT Slide Object.
Drag to size.

Does that do it for you?

I would like to edit the slide in slide show view that had been pasted
in normal view. I have been using Shyam's code for MS Graph as a model,
but it is for normal view also.
--begin Shyam's code--
Sub OpenInWindow()
' Assuming that the 2nd shape on the slide is an MS Graph object

With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(2).OLEFormat
.DoVerb 2 ' Open Verb
End With
End Sub
--end Shyam's code--

--begin my code--
Public Sub EditSmallSlide()
Dim pres As Presentation
Dim SldNo As Long
Set pres = ActivePresentation
SldNo = 2

'On slide 2 a OLE object("Object 4") has been pasted
' using edit,paste special, Microsoft Powerpoint slide object
'The object has two verbs, open(DoVerb 1) and edit(DoVerb 2)
With pres.Slides(SldNo).Shapes("Object 4").OLEFormat
.DoVerb 2
End With
'object 4 is a slide(slide 1) that was pasted
'on slide(1) is a shape, Rectangle 2, that is to be editted in slide
show view
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("Rectangle 2").TextFrame
.TextRange = "Purple"
End With

'Closing the object, no verb.
'With the recorder it is done with
' unselects for the shape and the object

End Sub
--end code--

Thank you,
Eldon

Echo S,

Yes this did indeed do it. Thanks so very much!! Very relieving to have
finally jumped this hurdle. Now, maybe you'd know how one would get it back
to a regular slide. I tried to get it to 'paste special - 'slide' but it will
only let me 'paste special' - ' slide object'.

Thanks Echo S for your time with this.

I don't know that you can easily get it back to an actual slide. If you
double-click the embedded slide object, you can edit it, though. I guess I
thought that's really what you were trying to do -- paste as an embedded
slide object so you could still double-click and edit the object.

The only way I know to take it back to a slide slide is to double-click the
embedded slide object, Ctrl+A to select all, and then copy. Move to a blank
slide layout in Normal view and paste. Off the top of my head, I suspect
that the biggest problem here will be that you won't have actual
placeholders any longer. And if you past into a slide with a title/text
slide layout, for example, I don't think that the copied info is going to
paste into the placeholders...

I actually didn't know I needed to convert it back to a slide either, but
the client wanted to know how. I actually just scaled it to the full screen
and he was okay with that, so am I. You'd think there would be an easy way to
this useful operation however.
Thanks for your ideas.

Ah. Clients. Gotcha. ;-)

Maybe you can just send him the original PPT file you're copying from? It
won't have any changes you've made to the embedded one, though.

Ah, well. If they're okay with the embedded one scaled to full screen, then
probably it's best to leave well enough alone.
