 - The function will insert the slides from the source presentation immediately after the slide specified by the `targetSlideId` property. The value of this property is a string of one of three possible forms: ***nnn*#**, **#*mmmmmmmmm***, or ***nnn*#*mmmmmmmmm***, where *nnn* is the slide's ID (typically 3 digits) and *mmmmmmmmm* is the slide's creation ID (typically 9 digits). Some examples are `267#763315295`, `267#`, and `#763315295`.

 There's no practical way that users can discover the ID or creation ID of a slide in the source presentation. For this reason, you can really only use the `sourceSlideIds` property when either you know the source IDs at coding time or your add-in can retrieve them at runtime from some data source. Because users cannot be expected to memorize slide IDs, you also need a way to enable the user to select slides, perhaps by title or by an image, and then correlate each title or image with the slide's ID.
 
 Accordingly, the `sourceSlideIds` property is primarily used in presentation template scenarios: The add-in is designed to work with a specific set of presentations that serve as pools of slides that can be inserted. In such a scenario, either you or the customer must create and maintain a data source that correlates a selection criterion (such as titles or images) with slide IDs or slide creation IDs that has been constructed from the set of possible source presentations.

 # Use Office document themes in your PowerPoint add-ins
 
-An [Office theme](https://support.microsoft.com/office/83e68627-2c17-454a-9fd8-62deb81951a6) consists, in part, of a visually coordinated set of fonts and colors that you can apply to presentations, documents, worksheets, and emails. To apply or customize the theme of a presentation in PowerPoint, you use the **Themes** and **Variants** groups on **Design** tab of the ribbon. PowerPoint assigns a new blank presentation with the default **Office Theme**, but you can choose other themes available on the **Design** tab, download additional themes from Office.com, or create and customize your own theme.
