Help With VB code

[Ray Batig]

Greetings,

I just started to write VB code for Powerpoint. The following code hides the
titles on all the slides.

Sub HideSlideTitles()
' Hides slide title by hiding the shape

Dim oSlide As Slide

For Each oSlide In ActiveWindow.Presentation.Slides
oSlide.Shapes.Title.Visible = msoFalse
Next oSlide

End Sub


The question is how do I skip the first slide which is the presentation
title page.

Any help or ideas are appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Ray,

Sub HideSlideTitles()
' Hides slide title by hiding the shape

Dim oSlide As Slide

For Each oSlide In ActiveWindow.Presentation.Slides
' Does the shape have a title?
If oSlide.Shapes.HasTitle Then
'If it is not a title slide then hide the title.
If oSlide.Layout <> ppLayoutTitle Then
oSlide.Shapes.Title.Visible = msoFalse
End If
End If
Next oSlide

End Sub

I would try something like this.


Sub HideUnwantedSlideTitles()
' Hides slide title placeholder on _
non-TitleMaster slides

Dim x As Integer

For x = 2 To ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
With ActivePresentation.Slides(x)
If .Layout <> ppLayoutBlank And _
.Layout <> ppLayoutTitle And _
.Layout <> ppLayoutTitleOnly Then
.Shapes.Title.Visible = msoFalse
End If
End With
Next x

End Sub

Hi Bill

Shyam's code will do what you need if you want to not rempve the titles from
title layout slides (this is often slide 1, but not always)

There are errors in your code (corrected by Shyam) which I thought I would
point out in the interests of education! If you do not check that the slide
has a title

"If oSlide.Shapes.HasTitle Then " ....

any slide without a title will crash the code and can put the user into the
vb editor which is NOT a good idea! Bill checks this in a different way by
checking for blank layout (which doesn't have a title placeholder). Even with
Bill's check the code will crash if the title placeholder has been deleted
from another layout.
