title: Python PPTX: Adding Entire Slide from Another Presentation
body: <p>It seems this issue was brought up and requested back in 2015 but I cannot find any updates on it. I'm trying to copy an entire slide (including its text and images) from another presentation into my working presentation by doing something like the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>prs = Presentation('CurrentPresentation.pptx')
  prs1 = Presentation('OtherPresentation.pptx')
  # Wanted_Slide = prs1.slides[0]
  New_Slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs1.slide_layout[0])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But all this does is add a totally blank slide (with the wanted slide's background) with slide layout 0, which totally makes sense. I know that's not the right way to do it. I tried the below and it did add a slide, but it was just a duplicate one of what was already in the prs presentation (I guess I found a way to duplicate a slide already in the presentation inadvertently):</p>
  
  <pre><code>def Add_Slide(self):
      xml_slides = prs.slides._sldIdLst
      xml_slides1 = prs1.slides._sldIdLst
      slides = list(xml_slides)
      slides1 = list(xml_slides1)
      xml_slides.append(slides1[0])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above code is a manipulation of a slide delete method I found online.</p>
  
  <p>Or does anyone have any sort of recommendation on how to completely copy a slide and all of its contents over to a working presentation?</p>
  
  <p>I apologize if no developments have been made and this post is a rehash. Thank you in advance.</p>
