3. Pasting existing slides into the new template
You can paste old slides into a new slide deck by placing the cursor in the position in the thumbnail overview where you want to place them, right click on the thumbnails and click paste (Shortcut: CMD+v on PC or CMD+v on a Mac)
VERY IMPORTANT: To make sure that old slides use the master slides from the new template, click the small submenu and select USE DESTINATION THEME

4. Reset slides to new template
Sometimes PowerPoint does not transfer the formatting of the new template, but keeps the formatting of the old template
VERY IMPORTANT: Click HOME > RESET to force PowerPoint to use the formatting of the new template

5. Change the layout style of a slide
This is the most important step to acknowledge when transferring slides from an old presentation
If a slide master from an old presentation is named differently or wrong, the master will be copied over to the new template. Select the right layout style by clicking Home > Layout and e.g. Title + Content – group to select the right layout for that slide
