How can I print a PowerPoint presentation (2003 or 2007) to not show the
audio icons for imbedded sound files? |

Drag the audio icons off the edge of the slide.

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.

It'd probably take me longer to write a macro to do it than it'd take you to do
it manually. And you'd have to wait for me to find the time to do it. ;-)
This is a quick 'n dirty one that might work though ... it'll hide all media
objects (movies, sounds):
Sub HideEm()
Dim oSl As Slide
Dim oSh As Shape
For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oSh In oSl.Shapes
If oSh.Type = msoMedia Then
' change this to True
' to reverse the process
oSh.Visible = False
End If
Next
Next
End Sub

Steve, that macro works beautifully -- quick, simple, and reversible. Thank
you!
