I have a 3 day meeting with 19 separate presentations from
various people. So far I have 275 pages in total. I expect
that # to increase later this afternoon.

Question:
1. Should I combine all 19 presentations into one file
2. Create a file and link the presentations
3. Keep all 19 as separate files

I'm concern about size and crashing of files.

Thanks
 
If there will be a meeting host, I would create a file
and link all 19 presentations. If not, I think keeping
the separate will be fine. I wouldn't recommend combining
them into one file.
 
Sophia,

1) No...this is asking for trouble....but if you do decide to combine them see....

2) Yes.... this tutorial was designed just for this purpose

3) See 2. Keeping them separate is good for printing, good for editing...and good for keeping them manageable....but if
you follow option 2 you *can* keep them separate

Agreed, but I'd create three different files and link in only the
presentations needed for that day.

More than likely there'll be a break for lunch. In that case, I'd do AM/PM ...
total of six "master" presentations.
 
Yeah...what Steve said.

Except I'd have one master file that calls up the other presentations. I'd probably re-boot the PC during a break when
no one would notice.

The other major advantage of method 2 is that you can set it up days or
weeks in advance. You do not need to have the actual presentations until
the time they are linked. Just insert a series of Dummy presentations into
a common folder (c:\Presentations\Show A.PPT). When you copy their
presentations into the folder, just rename them to fill the slots.

Then create your master presentation, with links to the dummy presentations.
Tweak it, make it pretty, and relax. Let the other presentation authors get
the white hairs, not you.

For that matter, instead of A.ppt, etc, make it Jones.PPT, Smith.PPT and so on.
When Jones brings her real presentation to the meeting, rename it Jones, copy
it into place and you're good to go.
