MATLAB: How to append an existing PowerPoint presentation when using the PUBLISH command

Question

I have been using the PUBLISH command to can create a PowerPoint slides. However, whenever I change my script and re-run the PUBLISH Command, the output will rewrite my file. I would like the ability to append my PowerPoint presentation rather than overwrite it.

Answer 1

The ability to append Microsoft PowerPoint presentations using the PUBLISH functon is not available in MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a).

To work around this issue, you can use the PUBLISH function to create PowerPoint slides for each script. Then merge the files together from within Microsoft PowerPoint.

This can be done by navigating through the menus to Insert-->Slides from Files... Using this PowerPoint tool, you can merge multiple presentations into one.
