Bundling Multi-Reports Into One

We are attempting to take a 13 Slide Graphical Powerpoint Report and Generate
same in Reporting Services. The individual Slides (which contain up to as
many as 4 subreports with graph and matrix) are beautiful! They deploy well
and we are all happy...IF that is you are opening them 1 at a time and
printing...which of course any Executive worthy of the name will not do.
Our current schema is a page under our department page on our company site
for all reports. When a user chooses a report it is run and the user is able
to print it. How....(coming to the point now actually, finally) can I
bundle those 13 reports into 1 so that when the user clicks on the website
the entire 13 are run and they are able to be printed?

subreports -> each pointing to the report in question you want?

For example in MS Access I can place a subreport without worrying about the
size or formatting etc., it is taken from the sub report.
Is it the same in Reporting Services?

The sort of crazy thing is you have to add a rectangle between the 13
subreports in order to get the page breaks, but otherwise it works.

exporting in Excel format (they will be ignored). There are also other
problems when a user saves an Excel report that has subreports and then
loads it back in. Subreports are best avoided and used as a last resort.
