2007 Microsoft® Office System Inside Out

We gave you an overview of Slide Libraries in Chapter 16. As a collaboration tool, Slide Libraries are great because you can make changes across multiple versions of a presentation—in effect, you can merge presentations easily and quickly. You do this through the use of linked presentations: As long as copies of a slide or presentation are linked within the Slide Library, changes to the original presentation are synchronized in designated copies. It works the opposite way, too—changes in copies of the original presentation will synchronize with the original presentation. Simply opening a linked presentation triggers PowerPoint 2007 to ask whether you want to check for slide updates.
