Deleting notes in a Ppoint presentation

[Guest]

Does anyone know if there a simple way to delete notes? With recording macros
and my knowledge of Excel VBA I have been able to create a loop to go through
all the slides. In my test environment the object that stores the text for
Notes seems to be in a shape called "Rectangle 3". However when I have tried
to run the macro on another presentation the name of the notes shapes are
either "Rectangle 2" or "Rectangle 3074".

Any help gratefully received

Many thanks

You can't count on the notes text being in any specifically named shape; It's
now Rectangle 3 by default, but if the presentation started in an older version
of PPT or has been extensively edited, anything goes.

Give this a try (look at the last bit of code on the page)
