What is a PowerPoint slideshow within a slide and how can I create one?
A PowerPoint slideshow within a slide, also known as a slideshow within a slideshow or a nested slide, is a feature that allows you to display multiple slides within a single slide. This can be handy in situations where you want to showcase a series of images, charts, or diagrams without having to navigate away from your current slide.
Creating a PowerPoint slideshow within a slide involves several steps:
- First, open the PowerPoint presentation where you want to create the nested slide.
- Go to the slide where you want to insert the slideshow. This will be your main slide.
- Next, create a new PowerPoint presentation. This will be your nested slideshow. Add all the slides and content you want in this presentation.
- Once you’re done, save and close the nested slideshow.
- Back in your main slide, click on the ‘Insert’ tab, go to ‘Text’ section, and click on ‘Object.’
- In the ‘Object’ dialog box, click on the ‘Create from file’ tab. Click ‘Browse’ and locate the nested slideshow file you created earlier. Click ‘OK’ to insert it into the main slide.
This will insert the first slide of your nested slideshow into the main slide. When you run your presentation, you can double-click on this to open the nested slideshow, and navigate through it as you would any regular slideshow. When you’re done, you can just close the nested slideshow to go back to your main presentation.
Remember to always test your slides before presenting to ensure everything works as expected. This feature can be a powerful tool to add depth to your presentation, keep your audience engaged, and effectively deliver your message.
