How can I print a PowerPoint presentation (2003 or 2007) to not show the
audio icons for imbedded sound files?
 
Thanks. That helps for one slide, but I have a presentation with dozens of
slides with sound icons. Is there a way I can print the presentation without
those icons appearing, or do I first have to modify each slide individually?
Alternatively, is there a way (in PowerPoint 2003 and/or 2007) to create a
macro to locate and do the modifications for me?

One of the coders will have to answer the macro part -- I don't know the
answer to that.

In 2007, there's a Selection and Visibility task pane you could use to hide
the sound icons. You'd have to do each slide individually, but it might be
faster than dragging the icon off the slide. I'm not sure what happens if
you open that file in 2003, though -- you'd need to check whether the hidden
object stays hidden. I think it does, but I'm not positive.

Selection and Visiblity pane is on Home tab, Editing chunk, click the arrow
next to Select and choose Selection Pane.
