As part of a macro that I am writing to copy some ranges in excel and paste them as pictures on powerpoint, I found online the following code:

Set slde = pre.Slides(vSlide_No)
slde.Select
slde.Shapes.PasteSpecial ppPasteBitmap


However, it seems that the PasteSpecialmethod is not present for Mac as I get the error:

Method or data member not found

I am using Excel 2016 on a Mac.
Can anyone help me? Is there a different function for Mac?

I think on a Mac you'd have to use slde.Shapes.Paste but I'm not sure what format you would get.
