When you insert new slides into a PowerPoint presentation from a Word outline, the text and structure of the content are imported, but the formatting may not always match the design of your existing PowerPoint slides. To ensure that these new slides conform to the presentation's design template and formatting, use the "Reset" command.

Here's a step-by-step guide to do this:

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation that now includes the new slides from the Word outline. 2. Click on the "View" tab and select "Slide Sorter" to see all your slides at once or stay in "Normal" view to work with individual slides. 3. Hold down the "Ctrl" key and click on each of the new slides you have inserted to select them. You can also click on the first slide, hold "Shift," and click on the last slide to select a sequence of slides. 4. Once the new slides are selected, click on the "Home" tab. 5. In the "Slides" group, find and click on the "Reset" button. This will apply the presentation's design and layout settings to the selected slides, making them consistent with the rest of your presentation.

Remember that using the "Reset" command will adjust the slide's layout to match the formatting of the template, but it will not alter the content imported from the Word outline.

Extra: In PowerPoint, the "Reset" command is a useful tool when you want to quickly apply the default slide layout and styles to a slide that has been altered or contains formatting inconsistencies. This function is particularly beneficial when you have a slide with several elements that need to be realigned according to the theme's default settings.

Each PowerPoint presentation is based on a template or theme that defines the layout, fonts, colors, and other design elements. When you click "Reset," PowerPoint applies the theme's default layout to the selected slide, which can save you significant formatting time, especially with bulk changes.

On the other hand, the "Format" option typically refers to formatting specific elements on a slide, like text, shapes, or images, rather than applying a slide layout or theme. Therefore, option A and option D from the choices provided would not accomplish the task of making the newly inserted slides match the rest of the presentation formatting. "Select all slides in the presentation and click Reset on the Home tab," option C, could be used if you want to reset all slides in the presentation, but it's not necessary if only the newly inserted slides need formatting adjustment.
