I just glanced quickly at your code.

Correct me if I've drawn any wrong conclusions. It appears you want to copy
a range from the active Excel sheet with the upper left corner being cell A4
(after hiding columns B through J). You want to copy this range (or a
picture of it), open your existing PowerPoint presentation, get rid of
everyting on slide one of this presentation and then paste the picture from
Excel. Then you move and resize the image on your slide. Now, you would
like to be able to add a text box to slide 1 and enter text in it.

I see you've set a variable to the slide count so I'm guessing you are
working with multiple slides. Is that the case?

When you write ActiveWindow.Selection....inside VBA running from an Excel
workbook, the 'ActiveWindow' is the active window for Excel, not your
PowerPoint presentation. You're not showing enough of your code to make
any
specific suggestions.
