        Presentation pptOne= new Presentation();
        pptOne.loadFromFile("test1.pptx");

        //Create a Presentation object to load the second document
        Presentation pptTwo = new Presentation();
        pptTwo.loadFromFile("input1.pptx");

        //Insert the specific slide of the first document to the specified position on the second document
        pptTwo.getSlides().insert(1,pptOne.getSlides().get(0));

        //Append the specific slide of the first document to the end of the second document
        pptTwo.getSlides().append(pptOne.getSlides().get(2));

        //Save the second document to file
        pptTwo.saveToFile("CopySlides.pptx", FileFormat.PPTX_2013);
