Save a copy of PPT without macro code included

[Vann]

Hello,

I have searched in vain through tons of PowerPoint questions but cannot
find a solution to this simple? question:

I have a .ppt file which includes a macro to auto-generate a
presentation by looping through a root-directory and making slides of
all "avi" and jpg" files included in the sub folders.

Once I run this macro I have a presentation that I need to distribute.

I want to save a copy of the auto-generated presentation without
including the macro code so I can distribute it to a number of other
people.

When I do a "save-as" or save it as a ".pot" file it still includes all
of the macro code.

Is there any way to not include the code with the saved copy????

TIA,

Vann

Once your presentation is generated, use the save as give it a different
name, then click on Tools, Macro, Macros, and delete any macros that are in
the presentation. then save it again.

Go to the VBA Editor and delete the module(s) that contain(s) the code.
Close the editor, choose Save As, and save under a different name. You
should now have a version of the presentation with no macros.
