Stop wasting time re-creating the same slides over and over. You can insert previously-made slides from one Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 presentation into another. To do so:

1. Open the presentation to which you want to insert slides.

2. Click "Insert" - "Slides From Files".

3. A "Slide Finder" dialog box will appear.

4. Click "Browse" to find the slide show from which you want to insert files.

5. Underneath "Select Slides" choose the slides you want to insert. Click a slide to toggle inserting on or off.

6. Click "Insert" to insert the selected slides, or click "Insert All" to insert all slides.

Before you click the "Close" button, you can click "Add to Favorites" to keep track of this inserted presentation. This way, when you once again select "Insert" - "Slides From Files", click on the "List of Favorites" tab. Your Favorite slide shows will be visible. Select a slideshow and then you can reinsert its slides into another presentation.
