This vba cuts lines beyond 6 from a placeholder that is selected and pastes it into a placeholder on the target slide. Note the traget slide must exist and be a title + text layout.

On Error GoTo Err With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame.TextRange ..Copy ..Lines(imaxlines + 1, .Lines.Count).Delete End With With ActivePresentation.Slides(itarget).Shapes.Placeholders(2).TextFrame.TextRange ..Paste ..Lines(1, imaxlines).Delete End With Exit Sub Err: MsgBox ("Error, is anything selected?")
