Changing Slide Transition Settings for Multiple Files

[scotthillje]

Hello - I want to change the Slide Transition settings to "Fade
Smoothly"/"Fast" in 2,000 Powerpoint files. Is there a way to make
this global change to all of these individual files by some batch/
multiple update method instead of opening each one, selecting all of
the slides, and changing the Slide Transition manually?

Thanks -
Scott H

Yes,you can do it.follow these steps:
click the slide show menu(from the menu bar),click slide switch,then the
slide switch pane will appear at the right side of powerpoint file,from the
pane,choose the Fade Smoothly"/"Fast",and do not forget to choose
"apply to all slides" button at the bottom of the pane.

You could do this with VBA.  Put the VBA in a presentation in a folder OTHER
THAN the folder containing the files you want to process; you don't want the
snake to eat its own tail.

See this for the general outline:

Batch: Do something to every file in a folderhttp://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00536.htm

And where you see this in the macro on that page:

   With oPresentation
        ' do something
    End With

substitute this:

With oPresentation
    Dim oSl AsSlide
    For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides
        With oSl.SlideShowTransition
            .EntryEffect = ppEffectFadeSmoothly
            ' uncomment the one you want by removing the ' character
            .Speed = ppTransitionSpeedFast
            '.Speed = ppTransitionSpeedMedium
            '.Speed = ppTransitionSpeedSlow
        End With
    Next
End With
