Iborder in photo album

[Snow22]

When I generate a photo album with 2 or 4 images on each slide, all my images
automatically get a thick black border. How can I remove that border from all
my images?

 

[vindys]

In Picture Album, press edit photo album, Check whether Frame Shape is
"Simple Frame, Black" if it so, change it to Rectangle.

Thanks Vindys, but that does not seem to help, I am using ppt 2003 and I do
not see the option "Simple frame black". The frameshape is already set to
rectangle.

Hi Snow,

I feel you made photo album in PPT2007 and now using it in PPT2003. Any way
you can right click on the shape and take option Format Picture.
In the format picture take the tab Colors and Lines and Line might be
showing Color black. Just make it as no line. I guess that should solve. If
you have a lot of slides and pictures, and if you need a vba, let me know

Thanks,
Vindys

For i = 1 To ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
With ActivePresentation.Slides(i)
For j = 1 To .Shapes.Count
With .Shapes(j)
If .Type = msoPicture Then
.Line.Visible = msoFalse
End If
End With
Next j
End With
Next i


This will remove border of all the images in the ppt.

Hi Vindys

Your code will work OK in 2007 but maybe not in 2003 where the photo album
"pictures" are really fills

substitute this if it fails in 2003

If .Fill.Type=msoFillPicture Then

Hey John,

Thanks for correcting, I couldnt understand actually what he really meant to
as I don't think there is a photo album in 2003. So I just made a ppt in 2007
with photo album and opened it in 2003 and type of the shape was picture
itself.

Thanks,
Vindys

Ya my mistake.

The feature appeared in 2002/XP, actually. And in 2000 with an add-in.

Looks like it happens by default. At least it does here! (I never use the
photo album feature, so I sure didn't realize the black border thing was a
default behavior!)

You have to select each image and remove the line on the Drawing Toolbar --
or use code, as vindys suggested.

You can also set up a template using the border style/colour you want for
the autoshapes then use that template for the photo album in the 'design
template' field.
