"Global" Animation of Photos

[Jill]

I created a "Photo Album" in PowerPoint 2003 that contains hundreds of
photos. I would like to animate the photos. Is there any way I can add the
same automation (i.e., entrance = random) to all of the photos at once?

Thanks.

Random effects is horrible but you can do it in 2003 with vba if you must!

Sub animate_me()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim oshp As Shape
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oshp In osld.Shapes
If oshp.Fill.Type = msoFillPicture Then
osld.TimeLine.MainSequence.AddEffect oshp, msoAnimEffectRandomEffects, ,
msoAnimTriggerWithPrevious
End If
Next oshp
Next osld
End Sub
