Oh Thanks for all your help but I am still struggling This is what I have done - much as Mr Yachtsman said. Open both shows left click the last slide of the show I want to copy, held down the shift key, left click the first slide, all the slides highlight. Right click select copy slide. Open second show, highlight where I want the slides to go, right click & select paste slide and all I get is one image pasted not the lot. I used the same method in early versions and no problem Martin
