At first, you have to select the object or text you want to copy by clicking on the ‘ Left ’ mouse button and dragging the cursor over it.

Step-2: Click on the ‘Right’ mouse button on the selected object to open the drop-down menu

After you have selected the object that you want to copy, hit the ‘ Right ’ mouse button. A drop-down menu will appear with several options.

Step-3: Press the ‘Copy’ option

In the drop-down menu, select the ‘ Copy ’ option. This will make a copy of the object and temporarily save it in the ‘ Clipboard ’ menu ready to be pasted in your preferred location.

Step-4: Click on the ‘Right’ mouse button on the slide you want to paste your object or text.

After you have copied the object, go to the slide where you want to paste the object, ‘ Right click ’ on your mouse anywhere in the slide to access the drop-down menu.

Step-5: Click on the ‘Use Destination Theme’ option.

Finally, after you have ‘ Right clicked ’ on the slide where you want to paste your object, select the ‘ Use Destination Theme’ option located under ‘ Paste Options ’ with an icon of a clipboard with a lower case ‘a’ on it. You can do the same for copied texts as well.

Now click on the ‘ Copy ’ option from the drop-down menu. Similar to Windows operating systems, this will make a copy of the object and temporarily save it on the ‘ Clipboard ’ of your PowerPoint presentation.

Step-3: Go to the destination slide, and right-click on the slide

After you have copied the object, go to the destination slide where you want to paste the object and hit the ‘ Right ’ mouse button. This will again give you access to the drop-down menu.

To begin, you have to move your cursor to the slide that you want to copy and click on the ‘ Right ’ mouse button to open the drop-down menu.

Step-2: Select ‘Copy’ option or press ‘Ctrl + C’

From the drop-down menu, Select the ‘ Copy ’ option. This will make a copy of the slide to your clipboard. Alternatively, you can skip ‘ Step-1 ’ by just selecting the slide and pressing ‘ Ctrl + C ’ 

Step-3: Right-click between the two slides and Paste the Copied Slide

Finally, position your cursor on the slide bar where you want to paste the copied slide. Hit the ‘ Right ’ mouse button and select the ‘ Use Destination Format ’ option under ‘ Paste Options ’. Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcuts ‘ Ctrl + V ’ to get the job done.

This will immediately paste your slide to your preferred position in the PowerPoint presentation.

Copy and pasting a PowerPoint slide from another presentation is almost identical to copy and pasting a slide from the same presentation. The whole process is described below:

Step-1: Copy the Original Slide

power point slide kopieren

At first, go to the PowerPoint presentation that has the slide that you want to copy into your presentation and then copy the slide.

Step-2: Paste the Slide in the Destination presentation

power point slide kopieren

Now simply paste the slide you have copied from the other slide by positioning your cursor on the slide bar and clicking on the ‘ Right ’ mouse button and selecting ‘Use Destination Themes’ under the ‘Paste Options.’

This will paste the slide you have copied to your preferred location while matching the theme used in your PowerPoint presentation.

2b. How to Copy and Paste a PowerPoint Slide without Losing Formatting?

PowerPoint also has the option to paste slides from other presentations while maintaining the original format of the slide. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to do that.

Go to the presentation that has your preferred slide and copy it by hitting the ‘ Right ’ mouse button and then selecting the ‘ Copy ’ option from the drop-down menu.

In the next step, you have to go back to your PowerPoint presentation and click on the ‘ Right ’ mouse button on the position where you want to paste the slide that you copied. This will open the drop-down menu.

Step-3: Click the ‘Keep Source Format’ option under ‘Paste Options’

power point slide kopieren

After you have accessed the drop-down menu, instead of clicking on the ‘ Use Destination Format ’ option, click on the ‘ Keep Source Format ’ option, the icon looks like a paintbrush on a clipboard as shown in the screenshot.

After selecting the ‘ Keep Source Format ’ option, the slide had copied will be pasted on your PowerPoint presentation, but it will match the format of the presentation it was originally in.

4. How to Copy and Paste Pictures in PowerPoint?

The process of copying and pasting pictures in PowerPoint is almost the same as copying and pasting texts in PowerPoint. Simply copy your preferred picture and paste it in your PowerPoint presentation.

It is important to note that you can also copy and paste an image from a folder into your PowerPoint presentation. You can also do it using the keyboard shortcuts ‘Ctrl + C’ to copy and ‘Ctrl + V’ to paste.

“Unable to Paste Image” Error in PowerPoint

In some cases, users are unable to paste pictures in their PowerPoint presentation if the image is copied from a folder. In such a case, you will have to insert the image into your PowerPoint slide, instead of pasting it. The process is described step-by-step below.

Step-1: Click on the “Insert” tab to add an Picture

power point slide kopieren

At first, you have to go to the slide where you want to insert the image and then go to the ‘ Insert ’ ribbon located in the upper left area of your PowerPoint window. Now click on the ‘ Pictures ’ option.

Step-2: Select the ‘This Device…’ option

After clicking on the ‘ Pictures ’ option, select ‘ This Device… ’  from the drop-down menu.

Step-3: Select the image click ‘Insert’

power point slide kopieren

A pop-up window will appear, where you have to select the image, you want to add to your presentation. After selecting the image, click on the ‘ Insert ’ button at the bottom right corner of the pop-up window to successfully insert it to your presentation.

The image will be added to the slide in your PowerPoint presentation. Now all you have to do is resize it and place it in your preferred position.

5. How to Disable Copy and Paste in PowerPoint?

Although you cannot completely turn off the copy and paste option from your PowerPoint presentation file, you can, however, restrict the PowerPoint file to ‘ View Only ’ for permitted users.

This way only permitted users will be able to view the presentation file and they will not be able to edit or copy anything from it. A step-by-step guide to the whole process is given below.

Step-1: Go to the ‘Info’ section in the ‘File’ tab.

To restrict your PowerPoint presentation, at first you have to go to the ‘ Info ’ section which is located in the ‘ File ’ tab.

Step-2: Restrict the Access of the PowerPoint Presentation

power point slide kopieren

Now you have to go the ‘ Restrict Action ’ option under ‘ Protect Presentation ’ and select the ‘ Restricted Action ’ option.

Step-3: Tick the box that says, ‘Restrict permission to this presentation’

power point slide kopieren

After you press the ‘ Restricted Action ’ option, a pop-up window will appear. Tick the box that says ‘ Restrict permission to this presentation ’ on the pop-up window to enable the restriction on your presentation. This will allow you to limit the viewership and use of your PowerPoint presentation file to selected users only.

Step-4: Add the email addresses of the users and press ‘Ok’

Add the email addresses of the users you want to show the presentation to in the first box that says ‘ Read… ’ and press the ‘ Ok ’ button at the bottom right corner of the pop-up window. 

Now email the presentation to the users with access to your presentation. This way, only the users you added to the box will be able to see the presentation, without being able to edit or copy anything on it.

6. Troubleshooting Copy and Paste Issues in PowerPoint

There may be more than a few reasons why you cannot copy and paste in you PowerPoint presentation. In this section I will be discussing some of the reasons why that maybe and how to fix them.

6a. PowerPoint Won’t Copy and Paste? Here’s Why!

Although this is quite a rare occurrence, however, this can happen from time to time. Here’s what you can do to troubleshoot this problem –

  • Restart Microsoft Office – Sometimes, the problem gets solved by simply restarting the PowerPoint or even Microsoft Office application. If it gets solved, then great! Else, move on to the next step.
  • Restart your Computer – Restarting your computer will most definitely fix the problem. Perhaps your computer had an update or even the Microsoft Office application received an update and needed to restart. However, if the problem is still not fixed, then you need to check to see if any of the other common reasons have caused an issue! (mentioned below)

The 3 most common reasons why you might be having trouble copying and pasting in your PowerPoint Presentation are:

1. The latest update in you Microsoft Office may have a bug that needs fixing

2. The Microsoft Office installed in your computer maybe broken and needs to be repaired

3. One of the installed add-ins in your Microsoft PowerPoint might be causing this problem.

If you have managed to fix the above 3 errors, it is highly unlikely that you will have a copy and paste issue. If the issue still exists, you would be better off to check if this is a system-wide issue or just an issue in PowerPoint. Based on this, 2 scenario’s can emerge –

  • Copy and paste issue is still seen only in PowerPoint – then, reach out to a customer support executive from Microsoft.
  • You are unable to copy and paste anywhere on your computer – perhaps check to see if the “Control” key on your keyboard is functioning fine. Other than that, there isn’t any other solution apart from resetting your computer to factory default or replacing your computer altogether.

6b. Excel Chart Won’t Paste into PowerPoint!

Sometimes, the paste function just doesn’t work when trying to paste a chart from Excel to PowerPoint. This can be really annoying especially when you are in a hurry.

Below, I’ve shared 3 methods to fix the issue of an excel chart not pasting into your PowerPoint –

Method 1 – Using “Paste Special” Option

One of the solutions to not being able to paste your Excel Chart is to use the “ Paste Special ” option. Here is a step-by-step explanation of the process.

Step-1: Copy the chart from your Excel Workbook

power point slide kopieren

At first you have to copy the Chart by “ Right clicking ” on it and selecting the “ Copy ” option.

Step-2: Click on the arrow under the “Paste” option

After that, you have to go back to the slide you want to paste the chart. Click on the arrow under the “ Paste ” option in the “ Clipboard ” section of your “Home” tab . This will open a drop-down menu.

Step-3: Click on the “Paste Special” option

power point slide kopieren

After opening the drop-down menu, click on the “ Paste Special ” option. This will open a pop-up window.

Step-4: Select “Microsoft Office Graphic Object” and press “Ok”

power point slide kopieren

Once you have opened the “ Paste Special ” option, select “ Microsoft Office Graphic Object ” to past the chart in your PowerPoint presentation and then click on the “ Ok ” button.

Method 2 – Paste the Chart as an Image

Another solution to not being able to paste Excel Charts in your PowerPoint presentation can be to paste the chart as an image. That way, the chart will be saved to your presentation as an image instead of a chart.

The drawback to this method is that the edits that you make to your data in excel won’t automatically reflect in the chart in PowerPoint. That said, it is a temporary quick fix. If you don’t intend to update the source data for the chart, then this method will work just fine!

The process is described below.

Step-1: Save the chart as a picture from the Excel Workbook

power point slide kopieren

Go to the Excel Workbook with the chart that you want to add to your presentation, “ Right click ” on it and select the “ Save as Picture… ” option.

Step-2: Press “Save” on the pop-up window.

power point slide kopieren

Once you have selected the “ Save as Picture… ” option, a pop-up window will appear on your screen. Save the image of the chart by clicking on the “ Save ” button at the bottom right corner of the pop-up window.

Step-3: Select the “This Device…” option

The next step is to select the “ This Device… ” option, under the “ Pictures ” drop-down menu which you can find in the “ Insert ” ribbon

Step-4: Select the chart and press “Insert”

power point slide kopieren

Finally, all you have to do is select the image of the chart and press the “ Insert ” button at the bottom right of the pop-up window.

Method 3 – Recreate the Chart in PowerPoint

If all else fails, you can still copy all the chart data from the Excel Workbook and create a new chart in your PowerPoint slide using those data. You can recreate an identical chart on your PowerPoint.

However, this may method may take time to recreate the chart exactly depending on how many customizations were done to the chart in Excel. Nevertheless, it is also an option that will work for you.

How to Copy PowerPoint Slides to Another Presentation

power point slide kopieren

Copying slides from one PowerPoint presentation to another is a common task that can save time and effort when creating new presentations. Whether you want to reuse slides from an old presentation or combine content from multiple presentations, there are several methods to easily transfer slides between PowerPoint files.

In this blog post, we will cover the step-by-step process for copying slides in PowerPoint using different techniques. We will also discuss tips for customizing and formatting the copied slides to seamlessly integrate them into your new presentation.

Methods for Copying Slides in PowerPoint

There are a few different ways you can copy slides from one presentation file to another in PowerPoint. Here are the most common methods:

The Copy and Paste Method

This straightforward technique allows you to copy one or more slides and paste them into a new presentation:

  • Open both the original and new PowerPoint presentations.
  • In the left pane showing slide thumbnails, select the slide(s) you want to copy. To select multiple slides, hold down Ctrl (on Windows) or Command (on Mac) while clicking.
  • Right-click the selected slides and choose “Copy” or press Ctrl/Command + C.
  • In the destination presentation, right-click on a slide and select “Paste” or press Ctrl/Command + V.

The copied slides will now appear in the new presentation.

The Drag and Drop Method

An even easier approach is to simply drag and drop slides between open PowerPoint presentations:

  • Open both presentations and arrange the windows side-by-side.
  • Click and drag the slide thumbnails from the original presentation into the slide thumbnail pane of the new presentation.
  • Release the mouse button to drop the slides at the desired location.

The Reuse Slides Feature

PowerPoint also has a built-in “Reuse Slides” tool for importing slides:

  • Open the new presentation and select the slide you want the copied slides to follow.
  • Go to the “Home” tab and click the bottom half of “New Slide.”
  • Choose “Reuse Slides” at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
  • Locate and select the PowerPoint file with the slides you want to reuse.
  • Pick the slides you want and click the “Insert” button.

Customizing Copied Slides

When you copy slides to another PowerPoint presentation using any of these methods, you have options for how the pasted slides will appear:

  • Keep Source Formatting : The copied slides retain their original slide design and formatting. This may look out of place if the new presentation has a different theme.
  • Use Destination Theme : The copied slides adopt the color scheme, font choices, and design template of the new presentation for consistency.

In most cases, you’ll want the copied slides to blend into the new presentation. Using the “Use Destination Theme” paste option is the easiest way to accomplish this.

However, you may need to make additional formatting changes manually:

  • Standardize the font choices and text sizes.
  • Adjust colors if needed.
  • Scale down oversized pictures and graphics so the content fits on the slides.

Review the copied slides carefully to ensure they align with the new presentation before finalizing and presenting the PowerPoint deck.

Tips for Reusing Slides Effectively

Copying existing slides from old presentations can save time when creating new decks. But there is an art to reusing slides effectively:

  • Copy slides entirely : Don’t break apart slide content unless absolutely necessary. Copying an entire slide retains the layout, formatting, animations, etc.
  • Use duplicate slides judiciously : Don’t overdo it. Too many copied slides may indicate lack of effort.
  • Modify the content : Tweak the wording, update stats/facts, swap graphics to give reused slides a fresh feel.
  • Check for consistency : Review colors, fonts, effects against brand style guidelines or the presentation’s theme.
  • Cite sources : If reusing slides from third-party presentations, be sure to credit the content appropriately.

Insert Other Content Types

In addition to reusing slides from another PowerPoint presentation, you can also insert other content into your presentation:

  • Add Excel charts : Copy data from Excel, paste it into PowerPoint, and convert it into a sleek chart.
  • Embed videos : Insert videos stored on your computer or link to YouTube/Vimeo clips.
  • Import Word documents : You can pull text from Word files to repurpose into PowerPoint slides.

Using external content types makes your presentation more dynamic but be careful not to go overboard. Aim for balance in integrating outside media assets.

Knowing how to properly copy one or more slides from an existing PowerPoint presentation into a new deck is a valuable skill for any presenter.

Whether you want to carry over eye-catching graphics, reuse a professionally designed layout, or simply save time – the copy and paste method, drag and drop technique, and Reuse Slides tool offer simple ways to transfer slides between presentations.

Customize the copied slides using paste options to match the new theme and review carefully to ensure consistency before presenting your new and improved PowerPoint presentation.

Ask a new question

How can I copy a PowerPoint slide to a new presentation and include the animation from the source file?

I have a PowerPoint presentation that has a number of animated slides in it. I would like to copy these to another presentation. I've tried dragging and dropping, and copying and pasting with and without formatting, but I always lose the animation when I copy the slides. Is there a way to copy a slide from one PowerPoint presentation to another and include the animation settings in the source presentation? I am doing this on PowerPoint in Windows 10, not in Office 365 online. Any guidance would be much appreciated!

PowerPoint: Kopieren von Folien aus anderen Präsentationen

power point slide kopieren

In PowerPoint haben Sie die Möglichkeit bestehende Folien aus einer anderen Präsentation zu übernehmen. Sie können einfach eine Folie aus einer anderen Präsentation kopieren und dabei viel Zeit sparen.

Wenn Sie eine Folie aus einer Präsentation in eine andere importieren, handelt es sich lediglich um eine Kopie des Originals. Änderungen, die Sie an der Kopie vornehmen, wirken sich nicht auf die ursprüngliche Folie in der anderen Präsentation aus.

Kopieren von Folien aus anderen Präsentationen

In PowerPoint haben Sie mehrere Möglichkeiten um Folien aus anderen Präsentationen zu kopieren:

  • Öffnen Sie die Präsentation, speichern Sie die Präsentation unter einen anderen Namen, und löschen Sie die Folien, die Sie nicht wollen, so dass eine neue Vorlage mit den gewünschten Folien bereit für die neue Anpassung ist.
  • Öffnen Sie beide PowerPoint Präsentationen, kopieren Sie eine Folien in die Zwischenablage (Strg + C) und fügen Sie die in die andere Präsentation (Strg + V) ein.
  • Verwenden Sie die Option „Wiederverwendung von Folien“ in PowerPoint.

Wiederverwendung von Folien in PowerPoint

  • Öffnen Sie die Präsentation, zu der Sie eine Folie hinzufügen möchten.
  • Klicken Sie im Miniaturansichtsbereich der Folien auf der linken Seite auf die Stelle (eine rote Linie erscheint), an der Sie eine Folie hinzufügen möchten.

Folie einfügen

  • Klicken Sie auf der Registerkarte „ Start “ in der Gruppe „ Folien “ auf den Pfeil unter „Neue Folie“ und wählen Sie dann „ Folien wiederverwenden “ aus.

Folien wiederverwenden

How to Copy a PowerPoint Design Template to Another Presentation

It's quick and easy to copy over a design template

  • Brock University

What to Know

  • In the source presentation, select View > Slide Master . In the Slide pane, right-click the Slide Master and select Copy .
  • Go to View > Switch Windows and choose the second presentation. Go to View > Slide Master . Right-click the Slide pane and select Paste .
  • Choose Use Destination Theme (keeps colors, fonts, and effects) or Keep Source Formatting (copies the source's colors, fonts, effects).

This article explains how to copy a PowerPoint design template over to another presentation. Instructions apply to PowerPoint 2019, PowerPoint 2016, PowerPoint 2013, and PowerPoint for Microsoft 365.

How to Copy a Presentation's Design Template

It's often quicker to copy a design template from a presentation than to find it in the list of PowerPoint templates. 

Go to View in the presentation that contains the design template you want to copy and select  Slide Master .

Right-click the Slide Master in the Slide pane on the left side of the screen and select Copy .

The Slide Master is the large thumbnail image at the top of the Slide pane. Some presentations contain more than one slide master.

Go to View , select  Switch Windows , and choose the presentation you want to paste the Slide Master into.

If you don't see the other PowerPoint presentation on this list, it means that the other file isn't open. Open it now and return to this step to select it from the list.

In the second presentation, go to View and select Slide Master to open the  Slide Master .

To insert the Slide Master from the other presentation, right-click on the Slide pane to the left, select Paste , and do one of the following:

  • Choose Use Destination Theme to keep the theme colors, fonts, and effects of the presentation you are pasting to.
  • Choose Keep Source Formatting to copy the theme colors, fonts, and effects of the template you are copying from.

Select  Close Master View .

Changes made to individual slides in the original presentation, such as font styles, do not change the design template of that presentation. Therefore, graphic objects or font changes added to individual slides do not copy over to a new presentation. 

To copy PowerPoint slides to another presentation , right-click the thumbnail of the slide you want to copy and choose Copy . Right-click a blank area of the Slides pane where you want to place it and choose one of the pasting options.

To save a copy of a PowerPoint presentation on your computer, go to the File tab and select Download As > Download a Copy . Select Download to continue.

To embed YouTube videos in PowerPoint , select Share > Embed . Select the HTML code and choose Copy . In your PowerPoint slide, select Insert > Video > Insert Video From Website . In the dialog box, right-click the blank area and choose  Paste  > Insert .

Yes, we can copy powerpoint sections.

PowerPoint’s Sections are not new (introduced with PowerPoint 2010), but they are very unutilized. Just this past month, the updates to PowerPoint (for Office 365 subscription version) included the ability to copy sections to another presentation, or different location in the same presentation. While there are more improvements needed to help PowerPoint Sections become a truly easy to use and helpful organization resource, this is a great improvement (and it lets us know the Microsoft Dev Teams are looking at Sections and making progress on improving them!).

As an example, if there are sections in the deck, copying the entire section is easy.

  • Find the Section name either in Slide Sorter View or the left thumbnail Panel
  • Click the section, which highlights all the slides in the selected section
  • CTRL + C to copy the section
  • Go to other presentation (or other location in same presentation) and CTRL + V to paste in the section name and all of its slides!

Here is my sample presentation with sections. I am going to copy the RED FLOWERS section into a new presentation.

PowerPoint Sections

  • Right-click dialog on a section name does not have copy or paste commands, so must use keyboard shortcuts. But you can right-click the insert location and use the standard PASTE OPTIONS in the right-click dialog.
  • Drag-and-drop copying does not work (yet)
  • Currently only able to select one section at a time
  • If pasting into a presentation that does not have sections added, the pasted in section – and its name – are added to presentation and all slides above go into an automatically created section. But all slides after the insert point are added to the new (pasted in Section)

3 techniques to copy formatting in PowerPoint

August 19, 2017 by Ellen Finkelstein 3 Comments

You can spend a lot of time formatting a shape or some text in PowerPoint and you certainly don’t want to have to repeat that process if it isn’t necessary. The good news is that PowerPoint has several techniques to copy formatting and animation. If you aren’t using them, you’ll soon wonder how you got along without them.

1) Format Painter and Pick Up/Apply Style

This is actually 2 techniques but I’m putting them together because they’re similar.

Here are the steps:

  • Format an object the way you like; it could be a shape, some text, or an image.
  • Insert another object.
  • Select the first object and click Format Painter on the Home tab in the Clipboard group.
  • Click the second object to copy the formatting.

Tip: Double-click the Format Painter button to keep it “on” and apply the formatting to multiple objects, one after another. When you’re done, click Format Painter once to turn it back “off.”

  • The style that you pick up remains available to you even after you do other tasks. It also may be easier when you need to apply a style on a different slide.
  • Apply Style is often easier to use for text; in my experience, it’s sometimes hard to select text when the Format Painter is active.

I recommend that you put these commands on the Quick Access Toolbar. I explain how in “ Work Faster in PowerPoint. ” (You’ll find some other cool tricks there, too.) But you can also use the (faster) keyboard shortcuts which are:

  • Ctrl+Shift+C: Pick Up Style
  • Ctrl+Shift+V: Apply Style

Think of these as variations of the well-known Copy and Paste shortcuts but by adding the Shift key, you’re copying the formatting instead of the object itself.

2) Change Picture and Change Shape

Again, I’m combining 2 techniques because they are similar–and both very useful.

You can use the Format Painter or Pick Up and Apply Style on a picture or shape, but let’s say you want to change the image or shape without losing the formatting. This saves you from inserting a new picture and having to copy the formatting.

  • Right-click the image and choose Change Picture.
  • Then choose the source of your picture. I usually use From a File but notice the other options. You can even choose from a picture that you copied to the clipboard.
  • Find the specific picture (if not from the clipboard) and select it.

PowerPoint changes the picture but keeps the formatting.

You can use a similar technique to change a shape without losing the formatting. Here are the steps:

  • Click the Format tab and choose Edit Shape, Change Shape in the Insert Shapes group.
  • Choose the shape you want from the Shapes Gallery.

PowerPoint changes the shape but keeps the formatting.

3) Animation Painter

You can also copy animation easily since PowerPoint 2010. It works like the Format Painter.

  • On the Animations tab, click Animation Painter.
  • Click another object to apply the same animation to it.

Like the Format Painter, you can double-click the Animation Painter to apply animation to multiple objects and then click it once to turn it off.

There are some other techniques to reduce formatting time and save chart formatting, but I’ll save those for another post.

Do you have some shortcuts that you use to save time formatting? Leave a comment and please use the Social Media share buttons below to share this post!

How do you copy and paste other ‘formatting’ like size, cropping and shape to an image?

I have many similar images and I just want to apply these attributes to them.

Ellen Finkelstein

Try this: 1. Select all of the images (they must be on one slide) 2. Choose Format tab, Picture Layout and choose one of the layouts

This will put all of the images inside SmartArt picture placeholders.

Applies to: Microsoft ®  PowerPoint ® 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 and 365 (Windows)

1. Copy formatting using the Format Painter

The Format Painter is a great tool for copying formatting. It appears on the Home tab in the Ribbon in the Clipboard group:

Format Painter in the Ribbon in Microsoft PowerPoint to copy formatting.

To copy formatting using the Format Painter:

  • Format a shape, image or text.
  • Insert another shape, image or text.
  • Select the first shape, image or text and click Format Painter on the Home tab in the Ribbon in the Clipboard group.
  • Click the second shape, image or text to copy the formatting. You may need to drag over text.

If you double-click the Format Painter, it will remain selected and you can copy formatting to multiple shapes, images or pieces of text. Click the Format Painter or press Escape when you're finished copying formatting to turn it off.

2. Copy formatting using Pick Up and Apply Style buttons

There are two style buttons that you can add to the Quick Access Toolbar that can be used for copying formatting. They are Pick Up Style and Apply Style.

These Style buttons are similar to the Format Painter but have a few advantages:

  • The style that you pick up remains available even after you perform other tasks.
  • These tools may be easier to use when you want to copy formatting to a different slide.
  • Apply Style may be easier to use for text.

To add the Pick Up Style and Apply Style buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar (which is above the Ribbon by default):

  • Click the arrow to the right of the Quick Access Toolbar. A drop-down menu appears.
  • Choose More Commands. A dialog box appears. Note that the Quick Access Toolbar is selected on the left.
  • From the drop-down menu under Choose commands from, select All Commands.
  • Click the button(s) you want to add.
  • Click Add for each button you want to add. In this case, add Pick Up Style and Apply Style.
  • Click Close.

Below is the Options dialog box where you can add buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar:

Options dialog box in Microsoft PowerPoint to add buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar.

The Pick-Up Style and Apply Style buttons appear as eyedroppers after they have been added to the Quick Access Toolbar:

Pick Up and Apply Style Buttons in PowerPoint to copy formatting.

To copy formatting using the Style buttons:

  • Select the first shape, image or text and click Pick Up Object Style in the Quick Access Toolbar.
  • Click the second shape, image or text. You may need to drag over text.
  • Click Apply Object Style in the Quick Access Toolbar.
  • Continue using Apply Object Style with other shapes, images or text.

3. Copy formatting using keyboard shortcuts

You can also copy and paste formatting using keyboard shortcuts:

  • Select the first shape, image or text and press Ctrl + Shift + C.
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + V.
  • Continue pasting formatting to other shapes, images or text by pressing Ctrl + Shift + V.

Technically, you are using Pick Up Style and Apply Style when you use these keyboard shortcuts.

How to Fade a Picture or Part of a Picture in PowerPoint (Using a Gradient)

You can fade a picture in PowerPoint by drawing a rectangle shape on top of the picture and then filling the rectangle with a gradient from opaque to transparent. This technique is often used to fade an image into the background of a slide. Since the rectangle is placed on top of the image and then text may be placed on top of the rectangle, you may need to reorder the objects.

How To Export Canva Presentation Slides To PowerPoint

Here’s how to make awesome twitch emotes with canva in your browser..

' src=

Canva is an incredible online design software that allows you to create many things including stunning presentations.

But if you’re a PowerPoint user you might be wondering how to export your Canva slides as a PowerPoint presentation?

In this article, we’ll take you through the process step by step, including how to keep your animated elements from Canva.

Let’s dive right in.

Jump to a specific section:

Step 1: Download your Canva slides

Step 2: open the .pptx doc in powerpoint, step 3: copy or add animation.

If you haven’t created your presentation in Canva yet – check out these incredible Canva presentation slide templates to get started.

If you have, open up your Canva slides document, and once you’ve made all your updates and you’re happy with it you can now download it.

You can download as a PDF file, or publish it online, or if you want to export it as a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) you can do that too. Here’s how:

Go to the ‘Share’ button at the top right and click ‘More’:

power point slide kopieren

Scroll down to the ‘Save’ options and choose ‘Microsoft PowerPoint’:

power point slide kopieren

Choose the slides you want to download, and hit the download button:

power point slide kopieren

You will now have a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) file in your downloads folder that you can open up.

The next step is to check if everything in your presentation was exported from the Canva slides to a PowerPoint presentation correctly.

In the past, elements such as the text fonts, graphs, videos, and some graphics didn’t export correctly but Canva has mostly fixed these issues so your export will likely be completely fine.

It’s worth checking though!

As an example, our .pptx export contained a couple of videos in one of the slides. One of the videos remained in that format:

power point slide kopieren

Whilst the other one was converted into an image element:

power point slide kopieren

Most of the elements will be converted properly but as you can some elements such as animations and videos might not convert correctly.

There is a workaround for this, which we’ll cover in the next step.

To convert Canva slides with animation into PowerPoint presentation slides here’s what you have to do:

First, go back to your Canva presentation, and download the pages with animation as GIFs. Simply, go to ‘Share’ then ‘Download’ and select the page or pages that you want to download:

power point slide kopieren

Then, select GIF as your file type, and hit the download button:

power point slide kopieren

The last step is to add a blank slide in your PowerPoint presentation, upload the downloaded GIF image into that new blank slide and adjust it to cover the PowerPoint page and that’s it!

You’ll now have an animated slide in your PowerPoint presentation.

Adding animations in PowerPoint

You can also simply download the full Canva presentation and convert it to a PowerPoint presentation and then add animations within PowerPoint instead.

Here’s a great video showing you how to add animations in PowerPoint:

Two people sitting in a restaurant, with one holding several printed slides.

When Jason Carman and Harpriya Bagri met, they had different takes on the film  Tenet .

Directed by Christopher Nolan,  Tenet  is considered one of the most confusing major movies. Harpriya was not a fan of its mind-boggling time-travel plot. Jason, though?

He proposed a date. They would get pizza, and he would explain the film. Harpriya agreed. But when she showed up, she did not expect to see Jason holding 29 printed slides from a presentation called " Tenet for Dummies." She also didn't know that Jason was filming.

The video of the date was later posted to X and watched 3.7 million times. Some might see the premise as a recipe for disaster. Others, a recipe for love. So which one was it?

  • Jason and Harpriya's date video
  • Jason's Tenet slide show
  • The X conversation that inspired the date
  • " Tenet , the definitive explanation " (Film Colossus)
  • " Can someone explain tenet very simply to me please? " (Reddit)

Full Transcript:

This content was originally created for audio. The transcript has been edited from our original script for clarity. Heads up that some elements (i.e. music, sound effects, tone) are harder to translate to text.

Ben Brock Johnson: Amorous Sivertson, happy belated St. Valentino's Day to you.

Amory Sivertson: Benjamin Brockis Johnsonite, back at you.

Ben: And with that in mind, what is the strangest date you've ever been on?

Amory: Probably like, I'm gonna say some dude thinking that we were on a date talking to me about something that he thought that I was interested in, and I wasn't, and we weren't. What about you?

Ben: I took out a girl named Amanda. We went to the movies, and we watched The Sixth Sense .

Amory: Classic love story.

Ben: Classic love story, and we also broke into a Speedbowl.

Amory: Is that like a go-kart?

Ben: No, it's like, you know, low-level race car — it's not the Indy 500. I don't know anything about cars.

Amory: The AAA of race car driving.

Ben: Something like that. Yeah, and she climbed over the fence with me. We definitely trespassed, and it was, like, one of those things where, like, I wanted it to be on, but I didn't know it was on, but it was definitely on. Looking back on it, it was on. But I just dropped her off and was like, "Have a good night. I hope maybe someday you'll consider dating me. OK. Goodbye."

Amory: And you lived happily ever after.

Ben: Yeah, I think she did. She certainly did.

Amory: You did, too. Your wife is one of my favorite things about you.

Ben: Yeah. But my wife didn't live "happily ever after" after. That's the problem for her.

I don't know if either of our dates would've ever gone viral, at least not as viral as the date we're talking about today.

Jason Carman: This whole, like, little Twitter virality stint was basically me capitulating to Twitter every step of the way.  

Ben: I — that, that actually worries me deeply. 

Jason: Me, too.

Amory: Jason Carman lives in San Francisco. He makes documentaries about tech startups. He also launches rockets into space. Big X — Twitter — user.

Ben: And he's single.

Ben: So, what — how's dating? How's it going? 

Jason: (Laughs.) Dating... (Laughs.)

Ben: Jason is in his early 20s, what he describes as a transitional period in the dating scene. He says standing out from the endless feed of men online is more important than ever.

Jason: Everyone's beginning to, like, realize, Oh, dating is no longer just like a fun after high school, in-college thing. So, thinking about it differently has kind of been a trip.

Ben: We better get serious; put together some PowerPoints now.

Jason: That's what I thought.

Amory: Oh yes, and his creative approach to dating has recently earned him a bit of a reputation, one he's not so sure about.

Jason: I don't know if I want to be totally known as the PowerPoint dating guy.

Ben: Too late, my friend! Jason Carman is the PowerPoint dating guy. Why?

Amory: Because about a month ago, Jason decided to go on a first date, and, instead of the usual thing — "Where'd you grow up?" "How many siblings do you have?" — he opted to give a lengthy PowerPoint presentation, a slide show.

Ben: And he filmed it for all the world to see!

Amory: Some might call it an odd approach to wooing. Others?

Jason: I guess it's the modern version of going and, I don't know, fighting a knight, fighting for one's honor. The modern version of that is making a PowerPoint.

Ben: Killing a woolly mammoth and bringing it back or something.

Jason: Yeah.

Amory: I'm sure those knights would really appreciate this comparison .

Amory: Today, Endless Thread listeners, we bring you the story of one date, two people, and 29 slides that caught the attention of millions online.

Ben: This is "Dinner and a (Slide) Show."

Harpriya Bagri: I had seen some of his stuff on Twitter before, so I kind of knew of him just through the Twitterscape.

Amory: Harpriya Bagri is a software engineer, also in the Bay Area. She works with artificial intelligence. And if you're wondering, we interviewed Harpriya and Jason separately.

Amory: Harpriya, how would you describe your dating life? 

Harpriya: You know, not great.

Amory: Can AI help with that? 

Harpriya: You know, funny that you mentioned that. I also made an AI agent to background-check my Hinge dates for me.

Ben: How's that working out for you? Harpriya and Jason didn't meet on Hinge. Their meet-cute was a tad more old fashioned.

Harpriya: There was this party. Jason was there. That's how we met. I was telling him about how I really enjoyed his videos and stuff, and he had read my blog.

Jason: She's great. She's very smart, and we're both nerds in the best sense of that. I mean, we met at a tech-optimism dinner party at my house.

Amory: A tech-optimism dinner party. Yes, you heard that correctly. They talked about things like AI, podcast audio quality, and they were hitting it off. Then they got to a somewhat contentious subject, one that would go on to have a rather big effect on their soon-to-be romantic lives.

Harpriya: If I recall correctly, it was him that had brought it up.

Jason: This movie comes up with me a lot in conversation. And I just think it's great. I don't know how. I don't intentionally bring it up. That would be really concerning for my future dating, but —

Harpriya: I had just seen it like a few weeks before that, just very recently. And I was just telling him how it was cool and all, but it wasn't like other Christopher Nolan movies. Maybe some of it went over my head. I didn't really enjoy it as much as I hoped to.

[ Fay : All I have for you is a gesture in combination with a word: Tenet.

Protagonist: That's all they've told you?]

Jason: Tenet is the most underrated Christopher Nolan movie, and hated in many ways. 

Ben: For the uninitiated, Tenet is a nearly 3-hour action movie written and directed by Christopher Nolan, the guy who brought us mind-bending films like Inception , Memento , Interstellar , Oppenheimer .

Amory: And, Ben, as you know, I am the uninitiated. I have never seen Tenet .

Ben: On this timeline.

Amory: (Laughs.) How would you describe the plot of Tenet ?

Ben: Uh, there's, um, some good guys and some bad guys, but there's one good guy. And he's trying to travel through time to stop the end of the world. And there's a machine. There's, like, a machine they have to go through to, like, to go through time. And there's a lot of discussion about entropy, which I don't really understand. And yeah, that's what I got. How'd it go? How'd that go for you?

Amory: (Laughs.)

[ Protagonist : I need some idea of the threat we face.  

Barbara: As I understand it, we're trying to prevent World War III.  

Protagonist: Nuclear holocaust.

Barbara: No. Something worse.]

Amory: Apparently, this movie is not for everyone.

Harpriya: It was very slow for probably a good chunk of it — probably a majority of it. I think I didn't see how certain things added up. 

Ben: But it is the movie for Jason.

Jason: I think it's like the most unique take on time travel that I've ever seen in a movie, and I think that's what makes it so cool.

Ben: They have a lot in common, clearly.

Amory: A lot in common. They're both at the tech-optimism party talking about Tenet . Harpriya's like, Mmm, yeah, too confusing, too long. I don't get what all the fuss is about. Normally, this might elicit a head nod and a new topic.

Ben: But Jason had been in this situation before!

Harpriya: He ended up telling me that he had an ex-girlfriend who he explained the movie Tenet to, and he made this whole, like — he did a presentation on it or something. And I was like, Oh, interesting. I didn't think I would be at the end of another presentation in the near future, but I thought it was funny in the meantime.

Ben: Fast forward a couple weeks, and Jason is on X or Twitter or whatever, and he jumps into thread with some randos about, obviously, Tenet . One tweet has a video of a Peloton instructor ranting about the movie mid-workout.

[Peloton instructor (via @JacobOller ): Did anybody see this besides me? Because I need a manual. Someone's got to explain this.]

Ben: And so he ends up tweeting someone else, to say.

Jason: I have these slides I made for a date three years ago. And people didn't believe me. I went to bed, woke up, the tweet was mini-viral. Posted the slides. That went very viral. And then some guy replied, "You should record yourself on a date doing the slides," which I proceeded to do.

Amory: Jason is, among other things, a self-described content creator. And he knew Harpriya had recently started to make her own content. So, Jason got an idea.

Harpriya: He had just, like, texted me, being like, Oh, do you remember when I was telling you about Tenet , blah, blah blah? And he was like, How about I give you the presentation? Do you wanna go on a date? And I was like, OK, that's fine. 

Jason: She didn't know at the time that it was gonna be recorded. But I'd met her a few times. She seemed cool. I knew she was thinking about getting into content.

Harpriya: He was very explicit to not go on Twitter beforehand.

Jason: I was just like, I know she would be interested in doing something like this once she knew what it really was. And this is another thing I like about Tenet's approach, is much of it is covert.

Harpriya: I literally thought we were just gonna talk about the movie. But, no, it was a lot more than that.

Amory: A lot more than that. Here we go!

Ben: How the date went down, in a minute.

[ Jason : People didn't think I was serious about making a slideshow about the movie Tenet . But I did. I have it here.]

Amory: So what happens when a guy goes on a date with a PowerPoint presentation and secretly records the whole thing?

Ben: He might get beat up. He also might get 3.7 million views , obviously. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

[Jason: And so I asked a friend of mine who I met a few weeks ago, a girl named Harpriya. I texted her last night, Do you want to come to a date, and I'll give you my Tenet presentation? So that's what's going to happen since everyone has asked to, well, see the presentation. So, here we go.]

Amory: OK, so she was warned. A presentation is on the dinner table, is on the menu.

Ben: He asked for consent before he gave her his Tenet presentation.

Amory: So, about an hour before the date, Jason sets up at an Italian restaurant, Norcina, in San Francisco's Marina District. He got seats in front of a floor-length window.

Ben: Meanwhile, two friends with cameras and audio equipment hide behind an outdoor dining booth across the street. Secrecy is critical.

Jason: There was an area mic I hid under a flower vase right there. The restaurant was in on it.

Ben: Oh my goddddd!

Jason: So, the cameras were set up, and we were worried about the glare of the lighting. It was all stressful. We were having some issues with audio. Then, eventually, we got everything straight.

Amory: As for Harpriya?

Harpriya: I had researched the restaurant beforehand. I was really excited to eat food and, you know, get to know him better.

[Jason: Hey, how's it going? 

Harpriya: Hi.

Jason: Nice to see you.

Harpriya: Good to see you.

Jason: Thanks for coming.]

Ben: The date starts like a lot of first dates: kinda awkward. There's some nervous, small talk — about spritzes.

[Jason: I'm normally not like a spritz-flight guy, but it's really good here. And a friend, maybe you got a one, so I don't know what to do. Like spritzes at all before.  

Harpriya: What is a spritz?]

Ben: Great question.

Amory: Harpriya, I'm with you, girl.

Ben: But also, I'm in. I wish someone would take me out for a spritz flight.

Amory: Let's do that after this. Let's get a spritz.

Ben: A spritz flight.

Amory: So there's also this kind of vibe, like they both know something is odd. Then, Harpriya notices that Jason is holding something — a folder.

Jason: And I don't think she knew what was in it. She was looking at it a little bit, and then I held it up.

Harpriya: And he pulls out like 29 pages or something of these printed slides. And yeah, I was laughing, a little confused. And I was like, Is this serious? Is this partly a joke? But then, he was committed. 

Amory: There's like a weird joke in here, like, "And then he pulled out his slides!" It's like, "Oh gosh, no."

[Harpriya: Oh, you're serious. 

Jason: Yeah. Yeah. I mean —

Harpriya: You printed it out? I knew you said you had a presentation. I did not think —  

Jason: Yeah. I thought it'd be, like, weird if it was like, I don't know — I just printed the slides. It's only, like, 29 slides.]

Jason: She looks over her shoulder, almost like, I'm not sure for what. Was she looking for help? Was she looking to leave? Was she looking like — what was it?

Harpriya: Yeah, I was like, You know, let's just go with it. Let's just dive right in.

Ben: The slide show is titled, " Tenet for Dummies ." And it starts with text explaining, quote, "If you're reading this, you probably didn't understand the film Tenet ... It's OK!... you're just not as film smart as you thought."

Harpriya: "You're not the film expert you think you are," or something like that. He had all these, like, jokes in the beginning. And I was like, What are you trying to do?

Amory: Oh, boy.

Harpriya: I was like, This could be going very downhill if you're starting off with that slide.

Amory: Oh, I would agree, yes.

[Jason: I made these like three years ago. This is sassier than, uh, it's — you know, this is not about you. It's about the theoretical person who doesn't understand Tenet , which is I think most of the population.

Harpriya: OK. OK. You know what? Let's keep going. Yeah.]

Jason: I was just so nervous. I was trying my best to be myself, but not be too loud, be loud enough for the audio. Also just, like, the slides suck. The slides are not meant for this.

Amory: This video, we should say, is 17 minutes long, so it's edited.

Ben: Can't believe she stayed that long. Shocking.

Amory: Well, the date was longer. This is the edited version, and I have to admit, when I watched this for the first time, I kind of thought the whole thing was a setup. I thought Harpriya had to have been in on it.

Amory: You could say that there's romantic chemistry and you want to see where this goes. There's another part of me that's like, Hmm, this is something that we could make content around together, and it could do really well. You know what I mean?

Jason: Well, if anything, the first.

Amory: Whatever he told you, what he pulled out was not what you were expecting?

Harpriya: No, no, no, no. I literally thought we were gonna talk about it.

Ben: Regardless, the date doesn't seem like it's starting well for Jason, the guy who said "you're not as film-smart as you think you are." Until...

Jason: The first time it happened where she actually got interested was the palindrome. 

Harpriya: He showed this very ancient artifact where it said, it said "tenet," and I think that pulled me in.

Amory: This slide shows a matrix carved into stone. It was discovered in the ruins of Pompeii and later found elsewhere. It kind of looks like a secret code.

Ben: There are five words in the matrix. And they all can be read backwards and forwards. The word in the center is "tenet."

[Jason: No one knows what it is. 

Harpriya: Where is it? 

Jason: It's everywhere. They have it on doors. They have it on buildings.]

Harpriya: Wait, I didn't know this. Like, that was really cool.

Ben: This is where having seen the film actually helps, Amory, because the whole movie is about time inversion ...

[Barbara: It's inverted. Its entropy runs backwards. So to our eyes, its movement is reversed.]

Ben: ...which is different than the time travel we usually imagine, where we get in a machine, press some buttons, and go ride a dinosaur.

[Barbara: Don't try to understand it. Feel it.]

Jason: And then the next slide, I think she remembered that it was a PowerPoint slide on a movie on a date and went back to being like, Um, what?

[Harpriya: How many slides in are we?

Jason: Probably like halfway there.

Harpriya: Halfway there.

Jason: Part two, part six, but...]

Jason: I was like, Oh my God, these slides are just monotonous and unclear and slow. And, like, I'm getting bored, and I'm getting out of it. And so I quickly just like — I was like, OK, this happened, this happened, this happened. And then when I did that, went through four slides that I didn't think were that important very willy-nilly, she was like, Wait, what was that one?

Amory: "That one" was a pretty cool slide, actually. Kind of a timeline of the whole movie, showing at what point the characters are going forwards and backwards.

Ben: If you ever get confused watching this movie, this is the slide to look at.

Harpriya: He talked about that machine that reverses the entropy. And they don't really show this as much in the movie, which is why I think that was a big point of confusion for me, is when they go backwards in time, they're reliving every day at the same unit of time. Like, a second is a second, but backwards.

Ben: And this is the moment that things really took off.

Jason: The awkwardness was gone at that point. And it was just like, I want to see this PowerPoint thing through and then talk about time travel theory at the end. 

Harpriya: And so we got really into it. We got into all these details, and it was connecting together and it had a lot of like lightbulb moments talking about what that could mean and what our theories were on whether or not it exists.

[Jason: I guess my question is, do you think time travel is real?  

Harpriya: Well, I think the whole point is, like, time is relative.  

Jason: Yeah, subjective and relative. Lots of different — yeah. 

Harpriya: You time-travel backwards. Now, there's two of you. 

Jason: I don't see why that wouldn't happen.]

Harpriya: But yeah, I think it was really cool to be able to talk about it just because I feel like it's not a topic I normally talk about.

Amory: Ah, that first date. Romance.

Ben: True love.

Amory: True love.

Ben: Eventually this PowerPoint date kind of morphs. They get pizza. They put down the slides. They eat. All of a sudden, it's just like a normal date.

Amory: Except for the secret camera part.

Jason: Once the pizza moment happened, I started laughing like the way that you do when you say "cut" kind of thing. I started laughing and said into my mic, "OK, guys, I think we did it." And then, at that point, she totally knew what was going on.

Harpriya: And I was like, "I had a little bit of a feeling!" I did!

Amory: Whoa, that was at the end of the date?

Jason: And I was like, "Are you? I could totally delete the footage. Like, seriously, it's no problem. Like, I don't even know if it went well." And she was like, "Let's just see it. Like, let's go look at it."

Harpriya: And later on in the night, we went over to Jason's apartment, and I watched him edit this whole thing, shrink it down to 17 minutes.

Amory: Oh my god, that night?

Harpriya: Yes. That night. (Laughs.)

Ben: Interesting.

Amory: No, it'll be really cool. I'm gonna give you my presentation. Then we'll go back to my apartment, and you can watch me edit the footage of the date that I recorded that I didn't tell you that I was recording until the end. No notes. Sounds like —

Ben: Oh, lovely. Can't wait to come up to your place and have a drink.

Ben: Jason uploaded the video the next day.

Jason: And that was terrifying. Thankfully, I think it went OK and wasn't horrible, per se.

Ben: People liked it! Sixteen thousand people, to be precise. Millions watched.

Amory: But some people were not huge fans.

Amory: Yes, believe it or not, some took issue with the surreptitious filming.

Harpriya: A lot of my friends have asked me that question, like, Were you offended or, you know, whatever else? Like, some of my friends clearly would not be cool with it. But no, I thought it was funny. I genuinely thought it was funny.

Ben: Others saw the very premise as a bad idea. Like the definition of mansplaining.

Harpriya: I can see why people think that. But I think in reality it honestly didn't feel like that at all. It was definitely more of a conversation. It was funny. And then there was a lot of banter and back-and-forth. I don't think he's a mansplainer. I think he's a great guy.

Jason: I think it's a person thing. I wouldn't try this on a blind date with someone off of a dating app or just a random person — like, I knew Harpriya was someone that would appreciate something like this. 

Amory: I want to know what movie Harpriya would explain to you.

Jason: It would be funny to do it and have people vote who did better. I think she would do better, 100%. But that would be, that would be a great follow up.

Harpriya: My favorite movie in the whole world is Cars , like the Disney Pixar movie.

Amory: Yes! I've never seen it, but I love this. I love that we are miles away, seemingly, from Tenet .

Harpriya: It's not just this animation about talking cars. It's, I feel like, so deep and has a lot of philosophical meaning to it that people miss. So I would love to give a presentation about Cars . I feel like I can really talk about that movie a lot.

Ben: Oh man, all I have to say, Harpriya is "ka-chow."

[Lightning McQueen: Me. You. Dinner. Pah-ka-chow. Cha-chow. Pah!

Sally Carrera: What that? Ow. Ouh. Please. Ugh.]

Ben: In the end, they both said the date was a learning experience. Not just about Tenet . They learned some other things, too.

Jason: If you're someone who's already anxious and paranoid about what people think of what you're saying, which I certainly am as well, then your problem is definitely not worrying about saying too much. You just need to be out there and confident in what you're saying or your PowerPoint presentation.

Harpriya: Maybe, it's like, in an odd way, the bar of a fun date is higher. It could be so dynamic. It doesn't have to be like, "How many siblings do you have?" "What's your favorite color?" Especially to understand why someone likes something so much is truly a reflection of themselves that you don't get from the very basic conversations of how many siblings you have and your favorite color and all those basic questions.

Ben: The Tenet date was a few weeks ago. Has there been a second date?

Jason: Uh, no. We have been talking a lot about things, but there's not been a second date.

Harpriya: Jason and I have kept in touch via text. And we'll see. I don't know.

Amory: Well, now you have a Cars presentation that you have to put together and give.

Harpriya: I know. So that's tempting. I think I'll — do I tell him? Should I tell him or just invite him?

Amory: Just invite him.

Harpriya: Give him a taste of his own medicine.

Ben: I have to say Amory, that when we first talked to Jason, there were like so many red flags for me where I was like, Here's a guy who — he's explaining a movie to this woman, he's subjecting this poor woman to 29 slides of explanation on their first date. But the more that we talked to Jason, I was like, You know what? This guy's a nice guy, I think. He's actually a nice guy, and it was really nice to hear Harpriya say like, No, I was good with this. And to me it's just a reminder that, you know, true love is very subjective. And also, Harpriya, I really look forward to the Cars slide-deck explanation. My kids would also love that.

Amory: Yeah, I think Harpriya is smart as hell, and I think if she had really been miserable, she would've left. And I guess my only thought is that like a date is not, Let me tell you about this thing. A date is maybe. Let's each tell each other about a thing.

Amory: If we can go back in time, time travel, we can do this date again!

Ben: Oh, let's see it happen.

Amory: And they can each give their presentation, and then they will live happily ever after if they so choose to.

Amory: Endless Thread is a production of WBUR in Boston.

Ben: (Speaks "backwards.”) It was produced by (speaks "backwards").
