Copying, cutting and pasting slides

Slides can be copied in the mini sorter (or the large slide sorter) or cut out of the presentation and pasted elsewhere.

All necessary commands can be found on the ribbon tab Home | group Edit:

Command

Explanation

Copy

The ribbon command Home | Copy copies the selected slide to the clipboard.

 

If multiple slides have been selected, all of them will be copied. To select a slide, click on it in the mini sorter. To select multiple slides, click on each of them successively while holding down the Ctrl or Shift key.

 

You can then choose the command Paste (see below) to paste the copied slides elsewhere in your presentation.

Cut

The ribbon command Home | Cut works similarly, but it deletes the slides from the document at the same time. Use this command if you want to move slides rather than copy them.

Paste

The ribbon command Home | Paste inserts the slides from the clipboard before the current slide.

Tip: You can also find all aforementioned commands in the context menu by right-clicking in the mini sorter.
