Move a PowerPoint slide to a new position

Use jetformat ppt reorder to move a PowerPoint slide to a new position.

By Jetformat

Both source and destination positions are 1-based. Apply moves to the current deck because prior moves change later slide numbers.

Steps

  1. Start with a local PPTX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat ppt reorder board-deck.pptx --from 1 --to 3 -o board-deck-updated.pptx

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--from 1-based slide number to move
--output Output PPTX path (required)
--to 1-based destination slide number

Check the result

Inspect the new order and render the moved slide with its neighbors to confirm the presentation sequence.

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat ppt reorder --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the ppt command reference for the surrounding workflow.
