Regrading multiple version PowerPoint Automation

Hi Friends,
Is that possible to handle two versions of PowerPoint simultaneously in C#? Like, copying contents from one PPT to another versions PPT like we do manually?
Scenario: PPt 2007 and Pt 2010 opened at your desktop. A C# application should copy contents from SourceFile.pptx (v 2007) to targefile1.pptx (2007) and targetfile2.pptx (2010).
This kind of requirement is very rare. But is that possible to handle multiple version of PowerPoint simultaneously?
Thanks
:)

Can you even install two versions of PowerPoint and have them peacefully co-exist? And since the latest version of PowerPoint should be backwards compatible with PPT files from earlier versions, why would you want to?
Even with PowerPoint 2010 open, you should be able to specify the format you want to save in, but I'm not sure if there are any differences (in file format) between 2007 and 2010 anyway.
