Default Master-Slave setup

Hi everyone,




I have a 3 .pptx more or less alike (but not exactly the same) with a lot of same slides used in those 3 .pptx.


My problem: when I change something on one slide in one of the .pptx, I have to go to all 3 .pptx to apply this change on those same slides.


Is it possible to have a Master-Slave setup where I would have all my slides in a Master .pptx and a 3 Slaves .pptx which would just call the slides present in the Master .pptx.


That way, I would only make the changes once in the Master .pptx and those changes would be automatically applied on the 3 Slaves .pptx.


I hope it was clear enough, anyway thanks for any hint

Have you tried making Custom Slide Shows? This allows you to select the slides you want to show for each 'sub-presentation'. As a first slide you could make a menu slide that hyperlinks to each of the Custom Slide Shows.

(So I mean: make all the slides only once instead of 3 times, and then select for each sub-presentation which slides you want to show.)
