PowerPoint edit how

[E.T.S]

I have a PowerPoint presentation - the location of the PowerPoint is in a string variable

I would like to use the PowerPoint package activity ‘Copy Paste slide’ however I am unsure how to configure the string variable into the variable that the PowerPoint activity will accept i.e. a variable of type iPresentationQuickHandle

I am also unsure of how to configure the ‘Destination presentation of the activity’ as I am unsure what this is asking for - would this be the name of the PowerPoint:

You need to be using the Use Powerpoint Presentation (scope) activity, then it will give you an output variable of type IPresentationQuickHandle that you put into “Source presentation” and Destination presentation"

Thanks!

Would the destination presentation be the same i.e. PowerPoint - I am unsure what this field is and how to configure:

Assuming you want to copy it from into the same persentation, yes. Both are IPresentationQuickHandle which means you get it from the Use PowerPoint Presentation activity’s “Reference as”

• Use PowerPoint Presentation
  ** Copy Paste Slide - give it PowerPoint as the Source presentation and Destination presentation

If you want to copy it from one source to a different destination, I think you’ll need to do this:

• Use PowerPoint Presentation (change the “Reference as” to SourcePresentation) and give it the source file path
  ** Use PowerPoint Presentation (inside the first UPP, change the “Reference as” to DestinationPresentation) and give it the destination file path
  *** Copy Paste Slide inside the second UPP, and give it SourcePresentation and DestinationPresentation
