[Copying slides from one presentation to another]

yes, Thank You so much for verifying what I was attempting to
express.

       What you're able to do on your machine is what I was able to do, but
for some reason am no longer able to so do.

       I don't know why this no longer works, & am still hoping that
someone on this list can explain where it went or if it somehow was removed
for some reason.

I'm confused as to the flow of the discussion, and I'm not at all sure I
know what the issue is, but I have no problem inserting an entire
Impress presentation into another Impress presentation.

Here's how I do it with LO 5.1.6 on my Linux Mint machine:

First, I open one Impress presentation file. I then make sure that the
"Slide Panel" is visible by clicking on the menu "View", "Slide Panel"

I then click on the slide in the Slide Panel where I want to insert
another Impress presentation, keeping in mind that the inserted
presentation will appear *after* the slide I click on in the Slide
Panel. From my experience, inserting a second presentation only works if
my cursor focus is in the Slide Panel.

Then, on the menu, I click "Insert", "File...", which on my machine is
down toward the bottom of the Insert menu list. From the resulting
dialog box, I select the Impress presentation I want to insert and then
I am presented with another dialog box from which I can select certain
slides from the inserting file. If I want the entire presentation, I
simply click on "Ok," and the file is inserted into the original
presentation file after the slide I had selected in my Slide Panel.

The 'file'option is missing in LO 6.0.2.1 (at least on Windows)

Hi Luuk and all:

Why not only select the slides that you want to input into the other presentation and copy-paste ?

I did it in Impress - LibreOffice version: 4.2.8.2 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and went well.

I have a Windows 10 box with LO 6.0.0.3 and it also does not have the
"insert > file" option.

However, it does have "Slide > Insert slide from file".

Could this do what you require ?
