Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing application that is part of the Microsoft Office suite of applications. It provides a completely customizable canvas, where the user can insert nearly any type of digital media that his publication requires. Additionally, Publisher integrates easily with other types of Microsoft Office files, so inserting objects from Word, Excel or PowerPoint is well supported. This support includes the ability to insert a previously created picture slideshow into any location within a Publisher document.

Step 4

Step 5

Click the "Create from file" option, then click the "Browse" button to locate your PowerPoint slide show.

Step 6

Click the "Display as icon" option, then click the "OK" button.
