Can't delete hyperlinks with VBA in PPT2016 (MAC OS)

Question

I have found many example scripts which should work e.g.

Sub DeleteLinks()
    Dim oSl As Slide
    Dim x As Long

    For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides
        For x = oSl.Hyperlinks.Count To 1 Step -1
            oSl.Hyperlinks(x).Delete
        Next
    Next

End Sub

However when I try to run this on Powerpoint on Mac it gives me this:

Compile Error: Method or data member not found

Does this mean this functionality doesn't exist in Mac PPT VBA?

Answer 1

John SR Wilson over on the Microsoft Answers Forum found a way to workaround this so I decided to post it back here in case anyone was wondering

See if this works on your Mac

Sub killMacLinks()
Dim ohl As Hyperlink
Dim osld As Slide
Dim asT As ActionSetting
Set osld = ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange(1)
For Each ohl In osld.Hyperlinks
Set asT = ohl.Parent
asT.Action = ppActionNone
Next
End Sub

If it works you can easily loop through all slides.
