2. Publish slides to a Slide Library

Create a Slide Library

Slide Libraries help you share, store, and manage Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 slides. When you publish a presentation to a slide library, the slides upload as individual files, so they can be modified and tracked independently. The library maintains a link to the presentation, so that you are notified when slides change. The library allows you to sort slides, check them out, and can help keep track of history.

1. On the menu menu, click Create.

2. Under Libraries, click Slide Library.

Slide Libraries can be created in only certain types of sites, such as a Team site and Document Workspace. If you do not see Slide Library under Libraries, the type of site you are working on does not support Slide Libraries.

3. On the New page, under Name, type a name for the library. The name appears in any navigation links that you set up.

4. Under Description, type an optional description.

5. Click Create.

Publish slides to a Slide Library

1. Open the presentation that contains the slides that you want to publish to the Slide Library.

2. Click the Microsoft Office Button Button image, point to Publish, and then click Publish Slides.



3. In the Publish Slides dialog box, select the check boxes next to the slides that you want to publish to the Slide Library.

To select all of the slides, click Select All.

4. Under File Name, do one of the following:

- To rename one or more slide files, click the existing file name, and then type a new name.
- To keep the default slide file names, proceed to step 5.

PowerPoint automatically names each slide file by using the presentation name and a unique slide identification (ID) number as the default file name. If you move your slides, the slide ID numbers no longer appear in sequential order.

5. Under Description, click and type a description of the slide file.

6. In the Publish To list, enter or click the location of the Slide Library that you want to publish your slides to, and then click Publish.
