>I am trying to copy all shapes on a first slide and then paste it over a second one. Macro recorder produces macro with ActiveWindow approach. Unless I turn PP visible it does not work in this way for me. Anybody could help?

Mark,

As you've seen, PowerPoint's ActiveWindow property doesn't work unless PowerPoint is visible. I haven't found any way to access an active slide when PowerPoint is not visible, so you'll have to manage the slide objects explicitly. You can access slide 1 with:

oPresentation.Slides[1]

Hope this helps.
