How-to Guide

1. Copy slides

Entry: Home → Clipboard → Copy

1. Open the target presentation and make sure it is in editing mode.
2. In the slide thumbnail pane on the left, select the slide you want to copy.
3. Click Copy on the Home tab.
4. After that, continue with a paste action if needed.

Success Criteria

• The selected slide remains unchanged.
• The slide is ready to be pasted in the current file or another position.
• The original slide is not removed.

Tips While Using

• Make sure you select the slide itself, not a single object on the slide.
• If you need to copy several slides, select them in order before clicking Copy.

2. Paste slides

Entry: Home → Clipboard → Paste

1. Complete a copy action first.
2. In the slide thumbnail pane, click near the place where you want to insert the slide.
3. Click Paste on the Home tab.
4. Check whether the new slide appears in the expected position.

Success Criteria

• The copied slide is inserted into the current presentation.
• The new slide content matches the copied slide.
• You can continue editing or moving the new slide.

Tips While Using

• Confirm the insertion position before pasting so the slide does not appear in the wrong order.
• In a long deck, locate the target area in the thumbnail pane before you paste.

3. Cut and move slides

Entry: Home → Clipboard → Cut / Paste

1. Open the presentation and select the slide you want to move.
2. On the Home tab, click Cut.
3. In the slide thumbnail pane, locate the new insertion position.
4. Click Paste to insert the slide into the new position.
5. Check whether the slide has been removed from the original position.

Success Criteria

• The target slide has moved to the new position.
• The original position no longer keeps that slide.
• The slide content remains editable after the move.

Tips While Using

• Cutting removes the slide from its original position, so saving the file first is a good idea.
• If the result is not what you expected, use Undo right away.
