Sample Visual Basic Procedure
Sub ResetActionSettings

Dim SlideObject As Slide Dim ShapeObject As Shape Dim MouseClickCount As Long Dim MouseOverCount As Long Dim Total As Long

' Initialize the counters. MouseClickCount = 0 MouseOverCount = 0 Total = 0

' Outer loop goes through every slide in the Active presentation. For Each SlideObject In Application.ActivePresentation.Slides

' Inner loop goes through every shape in the presentation. For Each ShapeObject In SlideObject.Shapes

' See whether object has Mouse click events. With ShapeObject.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick)

' Reset the object action to none, add 1 to counter. If .Action <> ppActionNone Then .Action = ppActionNone MouseClickCount = MouseClickCount + 1 End If           End With

' See whether object has mouse over events. With ShapeObject.ActionSettings(ppMouseOver)

' Reset the object action to none. If .Action <> ppActionNone Then .Action = ppActionNone MouseOverCount = MouseOverCount + 1 End If           End With

Next ShapeObject

Next SlideObject

' See whether any objects were changed. If MouseOverCount = 0 And MouseClickCount = 0 Then MsgBox "No objects had mouse events. No changes were made " _ & "to the presentation.", vbInformation, _ "No Mouse Events Found" Else

' This is the total number of objects changed. Total = MouseOverCount + MouseClickCount

' Set up the message box. If Total = 1 Then MsgBox "The action settings were successfully reset.", _ vbInformation, Total & " Object Reset" Else MsgBox "The action settings were successfully reset.", _ vbInformation, Total & " Objects Reset" End If

End If

End Sub
