Method 1: Microsoft PowerPoint
Most often, the Microsoft PowerPoint program is used to work with PC presentations, therefore we suggest to consider it in the first place. For the integration of one project to another, a separate tool is responsible here, which allows you to correctly arrange all the slides. Read about its use in a full-fledged manual on our website by clicking on the header below.

Method 2: OpenOffice IMPRESS
The next method of inserting a presentation in the presentation is the application of the program called OpenOffice IMPRESS. It is no less popular in the previous one and is available for free, which will make it easily downloading it to those users who need to combine slides only once. When using this application, the execution of the task looks like this:
- Download the entire set of OpenOffice software from the official site. In the starting window, do not create a new project, and click on the Open button.
- In the new "Explorer" window, find the first presentation file and double-click on it for opening.
- Immediately after that, expand the "Insert" drop-down menu, where to select the last item "File".
- Over the "Explorer", select the second presentation you want to insert in the first.
- The "Insert slides / objects" menu appears, in which you confirm the download of the entire document or expand the slide list to select only the necessary.
- Make sure the insert has passed successfully, and then perform other edit steps if required.
- Through the "File" drop-down menu, go to the preservation of the project, set the new name for it and select a location on the local storage.
Nothing prevents anything to change any discovertation slide as it is necessary. Use the built-in tools and proceed to save the document only when you are sure that editing is completed.
3: SWAY Method
SWAY is a free solution from Microsoft, which is a small tool suitable for both creating and editing presentations, bulletins and various documents. Supports it on only a DOCX or PDF format, which must be taken into account before starting work. If presentations are just in one of these formats, combine them as follows:
Go to download SWAY from the official website
- Note that you can download SWAY from the official website on the link above and in the Microsoft Store Store, accessible to Windows 10 users.
- After starting, proceed to add the first presentation by clicking on "starting from the document".
- In the "Explorer" window, locate the file and double-click on it for opening.
- Wait for the project to form in the program designer.
- After that, go to the "Insert" section.
- In the "My Content" block, click on the "My Device" tile.
- Find the second file with the presentation and open it in the same way.
- Close the section "Insert" by pressing the cross in the right corner.
- To import the contents of the document, click on the corresponding tab in the new block.
- Expect the file processing to complete - it will take literally one minute.
- Use the designer to view the final result or immediately play the presentation.
- By readiness, open the menu by clicking the button with the icon in the form of three horizontal points, and select Export.
- Specify, in which format you want to save the document, then complete exports.
You can edit each slide in SWAY in the history mode, interacting with separate blocks. Add pictures, videos, text, visual design, or remove unnecessary pages to them after combining two or more presentations into one.
Method 4: Online Services
A combination of several presentations can be done without using special programs by contacting online services. On our site there is an article on how to create presentations on such sites, but there is not talking about inserting slides, so we propose to briefly disassemble this process on the example of the Google presentation.
Go to the Google Presentation Online Service
- After clicking on the link above, there will be a transition to the Main page of the Google Presentation site, where start the job by selecting the "Empty File" tile.
- As soon as the editor elements appear, hover over the "file" cursor and call the "Open" form.
- Being on the "Load" tab, find the file through the system "conductor" or simply drag it to the dedicated area.
- Wait until the first presentation is completed.
- Import the second file through the same drop-down menu by selecting the Slide Import item.
- Similarly drag the second file, the slides from which you will choose to insert.
- Check all or some pages and confirm the import.
- Scroll through the panel to the left to get acquainted with the list of all added slides, by the need to edit any of them.
- As soon as done, go back to the "File" menu already mentioned and save the presentation on the computer in a suitable format.
