Send and save slides

Send or save a selection of slides or a whole presentation. Combine your selected slides into a new PowerPoint presentation and share them easily.

Send and Save Slides buttons on think-cell Tab

Send slides

  1. Select think-cell > Collaboration > Send Slides or Insert > think-cell > Tools Tools Menu icon > Send Slides .
  2. To send specific slides, adjust your selection as you need while the dialog is open, then select Selected Slides. To send all slides, select Entire Presentation.
  3. To send your slides, select one of the following options:
    • To create an email in your default email app, select Compose Email.
    • To copy the new presentation you want to send to your clipboard without creating an email, select Copy to Clipboard—this is particularly useful if think-cell doesn't support your email or messenger app.

Save slides

  1. Select one or more slide thumbnails. Unlike with Send Slides, if you're using Windows, you need to select your slides first.
  2. Select think-cell > Collaboration > Save Slides or Insert > think-cell > Tools Tools Menu icon > Save Slides .
  3. Select Save.

After you save the slides, the new presentation opens for editing.

Choose options

When sending or saving slides, choose from the following options:

  • Include Date and Time adds an ISO 8601 time stamp to the file name.
  • Clean up the presentation before sending or saving. To learn more about cleaning up your presentation, see Clean up and sanitize. Any clean up options that you select apply to the presentation that you save or send without affecting the original presentation.

When sending slides, choose from additional options:

  • Add PDF attaches a .pdf of the presentation to your email, in addition to a PowerPoint document.
    • To send the presentation in .pdf format only, in the file name, change the file extension to .pdf.
  • Zip Attachment attaches the files in a compressed .zip folder.
  • Add think-cell Link adds a link in the email to download think-cell. If the email recipient edits the presentation with think-cell, you don't need to reimport think-cell elements when you open the edited file. To learn more, see Reimport think-cell elements from PowerPoint.

When saving slides, to save the presentation in .pdf format only, select Save as type > PDF on Windows or Format > PDF on Mac.
