PPT2000: Sample Code to Assign a Random Animation to all ObjectsID: q222768
|
This article contains a sample Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro (Sub procedure) that finds all objects in the active presentation and applies an entry custom animation to each one. The macro randomly selects the animation effect to apply to each object.
