Animation removal for entire presentation.

[Roxi]

Can I remove ALL animation from a PowerPoint presentation as a whole?
(without going into custom animation and removing one slide's animation at a
time)
I have an entire team waiting for the answer to this.

You can show without animation by going to Slide Show > set up show > show
without animation

To zap the animations en bloc you need a little vba

Sub zap_ani()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim i As Integer
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
With osld.TimeLine.MainSequence
For i = .Count To 1 Step -1
..Item(i).Delete
Next i
End With
Next osld
End Sub

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. I need to know if I can remove all animation from
the entire presentation. (not just show it without animation). Do you know
if this can be done in one mass removal?

Also... I don't understand the last half of your reply. " To zap the
animations en bloc you need a little vba.............. "

You need to copy and use the vba code . There are instructions for how to do
this in the link

http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/vba.html

This is the code you need to copy

'Start copying here
Sub zap_ani()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim i As Integer
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
With osld.TimeLine.MainSequence
For i = .Count To 1 Step -1
..Item(i).Delete
Next i
End With
Next osld
End Sub
'end here

Roxi,
In slide show setup there is an option to 'Show slideshow without
animation'. If you tick that then all the slideshow will not display any
animations.
