Hi there,

I did put 100 pics from exactly the same size on top of each other on 200 slides.
All 100 pics are animated and are shown one at a time with al little delay, PP2003.

But now i want to remove all the pics on each slide, not just the animation but all the pics.
They are on top of each other, so i'm afraid i have to remove them one at a time.
So in that case i have to click a several 1000 times, will cost me a day or something.

Is there an other way??

The slidedesign is ready, so i can't select all the elements in that slide and then remove them all.

Thanks in advance, please help.

Max.
 
Max, If I'm understanding you correctly, then you just select the
pictures (left-click and drag your mouse) around the pictures, then hit
the delete key... then on to the next slide. You're then only doing
this 100 times, shouldn't take you more than about 15 minutes.

Hope that helps.

That seems reasonable to me, but it seems that the Original Poster is
having trouble selecting all the pictures. If this doesn't work, then a
simple VBA script would probably do the trick:

Sub RemoveAllPics()
Dim oSld As Slide
Dim oShp As Shape

For Each oSld In activepresenation.Slides
For Each oShp In oSld.Shapes
If oShp.Type = msoPicture Then
oShp.Delete
End If
Next oShp
Next oSld
End Sub

This should delete all the pictures in a presentation if they are really
pictures and not grouped. It will only work for your purpose if there are
not other pictures in the presentation (ones that you want to keep). If
there are other pictures, then you'll need some more conditions that
distinguish the other pictures from the ones you really want to delete
(possibly based on size or location).

If you try this, I strongly recommend trying it on a COPY of your
presentation in case it doesn't do quite what you want.

Thanks Ted!!

That really solved my big problem!
I'm very happy with it.

Also thanks to David, when the solution from Ted didn't help yours probably
will have done the job!

You guys are great.

Max.
