PPT 2007/2010 Remove ALL animations and slide transitions

[DaveA]

when one receives a large PowerPoint file and the animations and transition have been poorly done, how does one remove them ALL and start over?

[HansV]

To remove all transitions:
- In Normal view, press Ctrl+A, click in the navigation pane and press Ctrl+A to select all slides.
- Activate the Animations tab of the ribbon.
- Click No Transition (the first button in the Transition to This Slide group).

To remove all animation, you need to run a little macro (courtesy of PowerPoint MVP John Wilson):

Code: Select all

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

Thanks Hans,
we will give it a try as we are both new to macros in PowerPoint.
