How can I merge slides from different files with different slide masters into one presentation file? I have to put together a presentation which uses data slides from five different presenters. I have the cover slide and transition slides already created. I want to be able to just put their slides into place in one file without changing any of their formatting.
 
Before we get into the "how", what version of PowerPoint are you using?
Only PowerPoint 2002 and 2003 will do this. For PowerPoint 97 and 2000
we'll have to give you a work around.

It depends on your PowerPoint version. If you are running PowerPoint 2002 or
2003, you can use Insert--> Slides from file, select the file and slides you
want to insert and check the box to retain the source formatting. If you are
using one of the earlier versions, this won't work because multiple masters
are not supported. In that case, you will want to check out the information
on this page of Echo's site:

You are specifically looking for the link called "Multiple Design Templates
(PPT 2000 and 97)"
