You can download the slides as a PDF or PPTX (PowerPoint file) and save them to a flash drive. However, you can also access these slides on any device by logging into your Google account, so saving to a flash drive may not be necessary.

You can't directly add a PDF to a Google Slide, but you can convert it to an image format (like JPG or PNG) or add a link to it.

You need to log in to the Google account where the slide was created. If it wasn't your personal account, you might not be able to access it.

Transferring a Google Slide directly to a Google Doc isn't possible because the file types are fundamentally incompatible. However, you can copy and paste text or images manually between them.

The easiest way is to download the slides as a PDF and attach them to an email or upload them to an online portal if you have one.

A drop-down box is not available in Google Slides, but you can create a list of links to other slides to make the presentation interactive.

You can add a voiceover if you record it beforehand, upload it to YouTube, and follow the steps in Add Sound to a Google Presentation to add it to the presentation. You could try playing with the presentation settings a bit and see if you can add audio as a voice memo or other audio recording instead if you wish.

Near the top left, you should see a textbox that says "Untitled presentation". Select this, and replace the demo title with your custom one.

Select the "Present" button near the top right corner to play your slideshow.

Go to the top; there should be a pencil by some lines. Press the pencil to change the color. Press the solid lines to change the size. Press the not solid lines to change the way the border looks.
