macro to switch presentations

[Guest]

I am a neophyte VBA writer but lots of experience in Turbo Pascal (years
ago). I want to take information from an active PPT slide and copy it to an
inactive slide in another presentation.Is it possible to do this and, if so,
how?

Thank you,

For beginners the macro recorder serves as tool to get the basic syntax.
What is this information that you wish to paste to the other slide?

Thank you for your response. I am buliding a "Wheel of Fortune" game in PPT.
There are two presentations. The game front where the phrase puzzle is and
the score is kept. From the game front I hyperlink to the spinner
presentation (I also linked as directed by another MVP so that it is a
seamless transition, using the game front PPT as an object). I can stop the
spinner and it will read a value. Since the spinner is actually a collection
of 16 slides each slide will have a discrete value. I want to be able to send
this value to a named object on the game front slide where it can be picked
up and added to the previous score based on whether the person got the right
letter (this part is done). I just need to get the value from spinner to game
front.

Thank you for your help
