## Merge PPTM in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET**](/slides/python-net/) lets you merge PPTM presentations by cloning slides from a source `Presentation` into a destination `Presentation`. The cloned slides retain their layouts, shapes, styles, text, formatting, comments, and animations. Save the destination presentation with `SaveFormat.PPTM` to create a single macro-enabled PowerPoint file.

## Merge PPTM files using Python

Clone each source slide with `SlideCollection.add_clone`, then call `Presentation.save` with `SaveFormat.PPTM`.

### Python code to merge PPTM files into a single presentation

```python
with slides.Presentation("presentation1.pptm") as destination_presentation:
    with slides.Presentation("presentation2.pptm") as source_presentation:
        for slide in source_presentation.slides:
            destination_presentation.slides.add_clone(slide)

    destination_presentation.save("merged_presentation.pptm", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPTM)
```
