I need to insert shape(s) from presentation1 to presentation2.
We can insert a slide like
pptApp.Presentations[Presentation2].Slides.InsertFromFile("presenation1", 10,2,2);

But I want only the shapes from Presentation1.slide(x) inserted to Presentation2.slide(y).

Something like this :

C#

foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Shape shp in sld.Shapes)
                        {
                            shp.Copy();
                            Targetslide.Shapes.Paste();     
                            
                        }

How can I Do this in C#?

Please help me.
Thanks P2000

I have to copy all the shapes from the PPT1's slide to PPT2's slide. But I am able to insert entire slide here. I want currently active slide should populate with shapes from PPT1. How can we do that?

I am still quite unsure about the requirement here.

C#

pp.Presentation PPT1 = pptApp.Presentations["Presentation1"]; //get the PPT1 object

pp.Presentation PPT2 = pptApp.Presentations["Presentation2"]; // get the PPT2 object
pp.Slide ppt2ActiveSlide = PPT2.Slides[pptApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.SlideIndex]; // returns the active slide of PPT2

// This for loop will loop through all the slides and paste it in the Active Slide of PPT2
foreach(pp.Slide slide in PPT1.Slides)
{
 foreach(pp.Shape shp in slide.Shapes)
  {
   shp.Copy();
   ppt2ActiveSlide.Shapes.Paste();
  }
}

Hope it helped.
