I would like to open every PowerPoint (*.pptx) in current folder and clear the Slide Master of all images and text boxes and then save.
(It says my post is mostly code so I need to add more detail, so here is a quote by George Washington, "Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company")
New code
Sub DeleteSlideMasterShapes()
Dim i As Long
Dim shp As Shape
With ActivePresentation
For i = .Designs.Count To 1 Step -1
For Each shp In .Designs(i).SlideMaster.Shapes
shp.Delete
Next
Next i
End With
End Sub
Sub loopFiles()
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim fil As File
Dim fold As Folder
Dim yourfolder As String
Set fold = fso.GetFolder(Application.ActivePresentation.Path)
For Each fil In fold.Files
If InStr(1, fil.Name, ".pptx") > 0 Then
Application.Presentations.Open fil.Path
Call DeleteSlideMasterShapes
ActivePresentation.Save
ActivePresentation.Close
End If
Next fil
End Sub
Further to my comments, if you want to delete the slide master then use this
Sub DeleteSlideMaster()
Dim i As Long
With ActivePresentation
On Error Resume Next
For i = .Designs.Count To 1 Step -1
.Designs(i).SlideMaster.Delete
Next i
On Error GoTo 0
End With
End Sub
To delete Shapes of a slidemaster, use this
Sub DeleteSlideMasterShapes()
Dim i As Long
Dim shp As Shape
With ActivePresentation
For i = .Designs.Count To 1 Step -1
For Each shp In .Designs(i).SlideMaster.Shapes
shp.Delete
Next
Next i
End With
End Sub
