How would I check whether a PPT file is empty: i.e. it does not contain data
or code?

Thanks.

If the file size is zero bytes, it contains no data or code.

I suspect that's not the answer you were after. ;-)

What problem are you trying to solve?

My magic 8-ball says Kintan still has his Fast Saves turned on and is
wondering why after deleting all of his slides he still has a several
megabyte file. Of course it also says that you would recommend looking at
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00034.htm, but that's just the 8-ball
talking.

You can check for VBA code by opening the Visual Basic Editor (Tools ->
Macros -> Visual Basic Editor, or press Alt+F11).

You should see a Project Explorer pane (press Ctrl+R). If there is any
code stored in the project then you'll see it by expanding the tree. If
is nothing to expand then there isn't any code.
