I have a few PowerPoint files (.pptx) that have many linked charts and objects in them, and to save time on publishing the files as .ppsx (PowerPoint Show) I would like to remove/break all of the links with a macro.
I plan on saving this macro as an add-in using the technique detailed by PPTools here:
Create an ADD-IN with TOOLBARS that run macros
I would like the macro to do the following in this order:
1. save the current file
2. break all external links
3. save the file as a .ppsx in the same folder, using the same name, and automatically replacing an older file if one exists
I am a novice to VBA, and will be very grateful for help with this,
Jon
Steve's method BTW is a legacy method for pre Ribbon versions. It will still work but you might want to look at a current method. http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/custom_UI.html
