Oh ok so let me see if I understand.
In a presentation I would create the shapes then probably name them something unique. Then write code in my working presentation that would paste this created/named shape into my current presentation without the shape presentation being open.

If that is right can you give me a basic code? for example I would call the shape CustomShape1 in a presentation called CustomShapesPresentation located in the my documents folder.

Thanks
