Shapes.Paste (PowerPoint)

Pastes the shapes, slides, or text on the Clipboard into the specified Shapes collection, at the top of the z-order. Each pasted object becomes a member of the specified Shapes collection. If the Clipboard contains entire slides, the slides will be pasted as shapes that contain the images of the slides. If the Clipboard contains a text range, the text will be pasted into a newly created TextFrame shape. Returns a ShapeRange object that represents the pasted objects.

Use the ViewType property to set the view for a window before pasting the Clipboard contents into it. The following table shows what you can paste into each view.

Dim srePaste As ShapeRange
Set srePaste = ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange(1).Shapes.Paste()
