Choose the appearance you need

These choices apply when inserting a slide in PowerPoint. Download and Open work with the file instead; they do not offer the slide insertion formatting choice.

  • Insert with theme uses the destination presentation’s theme.
  • Insert without theme keeps the source slide’s formatting.

Insert from a presentation

The dropdown shows the alternative to your account’s default, so only one of the two labels appears.

For a slide saved as a separate file, the main action is Insert slide. Look in its action menu for the alternate formatting option.

  1. Open Pickit inside PowerPoint, open the presentation in Pickit and select Slides.
  2. Find the slide and open the dropdown beside its Insert button.
  3. Choose Insert with theme or Insert without theme if the option you want is shown. If the menu shows the opposite choice, click the main Insert button to use the default.

Account administrators: set the default

An account administrator can change the main Insert button’s default for the organization. Use the administrator guide for that setting.
