using IPresentation sourcePresentation = Presentation.Open(sourceStream);
//Open an existing destination presentation.
using FileStream destinationStream = new FileStream("DestinationPresentation.pptx", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite);
using IPresentation destinationPresentation = Presentation.Open(destinationStream);

//Iterate each slide in source and merge to presentation.
for(int i =0;i<sourcePresentation.Slides.Count;i++)
{
    //Clone the slide of the source presentation.
    ISlide clonedSlide = sourcePresentation.Slides[i].Clone();
    //Merge the cloned slide into the destination presentation.
    destinationPresentation.Slides.Add(clonedSlide, PasteOptions.UseDestinationTheme, sourcePresentation);
