serialize shape for futur use (like model)

Hello,

I'm programmer and have to save some Powerpoint's shapes and groups for futur use.

The application will looks like a shapes models library.
It store pre-made shapes and groups that the user can put on slides.

The only idea I've found is to use the clipboard for serializing shapes (but I didn't try it yet).
Is there another way ??

For example, MSGraph has a method Chart.Application.Save( filename ).

Thanks,
Cyrille

You could export them as WMFs or EMFs or possibly even store them in a PPT file that you open as
needed.
