Which is the vba code to do this?
I have an object copied into the clipboard and I want to
paste it as a "device independent bitmap".

Ikeriba,

I found this...

For seeing what type of data is on the clipboard

What version of PowerPoint does this need to work in?
If PPT2002 and later, you can do:

ActivePresentation.Slides(x).Shapes.PasteSpecial (parameter)

to force the pasted image onto slide x in the format dictated by "parameter"

If the format isn't on the clipboard, an error occurs.

So it would be handy to check what's on the clipboard first?

Or trap the error.

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

' Try pasting a bitmap here

NormalExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox ("Sorry, no bitmaps on the clipboard today. _Try again tomorrow.")
