I'm trying to create a macro in word that deletes everything other than text.
So charts/tables/excel tables/images.
I've tried recording one and manipulating it but to no avail.
This is working for images & charts but not tables/excel tables.
Sub deleteimages()
Dim i As Integer
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .InlineShapes.Count
.InlineShapes(i).ConvertToShape
Next i
Dim Shp As Shape
For Each Shp In ActiveDocument.Shapes
If Shp.Type = msoTextBox Then Shp.Delete
Next Shp
For Each Shp In ActiveDocument.Shapes
If Shp.Type = msoTable Then Shp.Delete
Next Shp
ActiveDocument.Shapes.SelectAll
Selection.Delete
End With
End Sub
For tables, use this:
Sub deletetables()
Dim i As Integer
With ActiveDocument
For i = .Tables.Count To 1 Step -1
.Tables(i).Delete
Next i
End With
End Sub
The same logic use for charts and other objects.
For further information, please see: Word Object Model Reference
By The Way: i suggest to delete objects starting from the last one, because of set of reasons. Another way is to use Do While... loop:
Do While ActiveDocument.Tables.Count>1
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Delete
Loop
This macro deletes Charts, MS Tables, Excel copied tables & images.
Sub deleteNoise()
Dim objPic As InlineShape
For Each objPic In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
objPic.Delete
Next objPic
Dim tbl As Table
For Each tbl In ActiveDocument.Tables
tbl.Delete
Next tbl
Dim shp As Shape
ActiveDocument.Shapes.SelectAll
Selection.Delete
End Sub

Good Day,
I'm trying to get a specific shape data from all pages in the active document.
Can someone help me with the following code?
Sub Macro3()
Dim Pg As Visio.Page
Dim shp As Shape
For Each Pg In Application.ActiveDocument.Pages
shp = Pg.Shapes("Cartouche Site").CellsU("Prop.T2").formula
Debug.Print shp.CellsU("Prop.T2").formula
Next
End Sub
Thank you very much
Marc!
Please try this modified code
Sub Macro3()
Dim Pg As Visio.Page
Dim shp As Shape
For Each Pg In Application.ActiveDocument.Pages
Set shp = Pg.Shapes("Cartouche Site")
Debug.Print shp.CellsU("Prop.T2").formula
Next
End Sub
Are you sure that each page contain shape named Cartouche Site
I would like do detele all picture png from an active window from MS Visio in VBA so I tried this:
Sub DeleteAllShapes()
Dim vsoSelection As Visio.Selection
Set vsoSelection = ActiveWindow.Selection
Dim shp As Shape
For Each shp In vsoSelection
If shp.Type <> msoPicture Then shp.Delete
Next shp
End Sub
But it deletes just the last select and not all in the page
When deleting shapes you need to use a plain For loop and count backwards.
For shp = vsoSelection.Count To 1 Step -1
more code
Next shp
I want to delete everything in my powerpoint presentation, except the charts that are already there. I have been searching for day with no avail.
I did however find this VBA that deletes all charts. Unfortunately, it is the opposite of what I am trying to achieve. I have tried using VBA found in other code and adding it, but nothing helps. Any help would be much appreciated.
Sub RemoveAllCharts()
Dim sld As Slide
Dim i, num
'Loop Through Each Slide in ActivePresentation
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
num = sld.Shapes.Count
For i = num To 1 Step -1
If sld.Shapes(i).HasChart Then
sld.Shapes(i).Delete
End If
Next i
Next sld
End Sub
You might be able to add a Not to achieve this, i.e. change
If sld.Shapes(i).HasChart Then
to
If Not sld.Shapes(i).HasChart Then
Sub RemoveAllButCharts()
Dim sld As Slide
Dim i As Long, num As Long
'Loop Through Each Slide in ActivePresentation
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
num = sld.Shapes.Count
For i = num To 1 Step -1
If Not sld.Shapes(i).HasChart Then
sld.Shapes(i).Delete
End If
Next i
Next sld
End Sub
I have the below code which adds periods to the body of a PPT slide:
Sub TitlePeriod()
On Error Resume Next
Dim sld As Slide
Dim shp As Shape
Dim strTitle As String
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
If sld.Shapes.HasTitle = True Then 'check if there is a title
strTitle = sld.Shapes.Title.TextFrame.TextRange.Text
Else
strTitle = ""
End If
For Each shp In sld.Shapes
'add periods only if text of shape is not equal to title text.
If strTitle <> shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text Then
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.AddPeriods
If shp.HasTable Then
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.AddPeriods
End If
End If
Next shp
Next sld
End Sub
I am trying to add bit to the code that will add periods to tables within a slide as well
If shp.HasTable Then
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.AddPeriods
When I run the code there are not errors, but there are no periods added within the table. Would love some advice or any tips on how to fix this.
Thanks in advance
First, I would like to offer some advice. When trying to figure out issues like this, it is best to try to examine the object in the locals window. This way, you can search through the properties of the object (in this case, the shape object, shp, which happens to be a Table) and figure out which properties you need to modify to achieve your desired results. No offense meant, but from your questions, it appears that you are new to VBA and found some of this code somewhere.
Also, the code was actually causing an error for me, as the Table shape did not have a textframe (although I only made a test table....perhaps yours actually had one). I added a check for the textFrame.
For your specific question, a shape object with a table, has a Table property that needs to be used to add things to the cells. The Table, in turn, has a Columns object which is a collection of columns. You need to loop through all of the columns. Each column is a collection of cells, so you need to loop through the cells. Each cell has the textframe and textrange objects you are looking for, so you need to run the .AddPeriods method on these objects.
Sub TitlePeriod()
On Error Resume Next
Dim sld As Slide
Dim shp As Shape
Dim strTitle As String
Dim myTable As Table
Dim myColumns As Columns
Dim col As Column
Dim myCell As Cell
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
If sld.Shapes.HasTitle = True Then 'check if there is a title
strTitle = sld.Shapes.Title.TextFrame.TextRange.Text
Else
strTitle = ""
End If
For Each shp In sld.Shapes
'add periods only if text of shape is not equal to title text.
If shp.TextFrame.HasText Then 'check to make sure there is text in the shape
If strTitle <> shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text Then
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.AddPeriods
End If
End If
If shp.HasTable Then 'Check to see if shape is a table
Set myTable = shp.Table 'Get the table object of the shape
Set myColumns = myTable.Columns 'Get the columns of the table
For Each col In myColumns 'Loop through the columns
For Each myCell In col.Cells 'Loop through the cells in the column
myCell.Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.AddPeriods 'Add periods to the cell
Next myCell
Next col
End If
Next shp
Next sld
End Sub
I'm new to PowerPoint VBA so please bear with me.
I would like to:
loop through all the slides on a given pptx,
loop through all the shapes on a given slide,
find chart shapes
loop through the chart's series collection
set the datalabel color property to dark black.
So far I have been able to complete the first 3 tasks but I need help with the last 2. Here is my code:
Sub test()
Dim slide As Object
Dim shape As Object
Dim shapeNames As Object
Dim chSeries As Series
i = 0
For Each slide In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each shape In slide.Shapes
If shape.HasChart Then
i = i + 1
Debug.Print "found a chart on slide", i
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
Solved.
Sub test()
Dim sld As Slide
Dim shp As Shape
Dim sr As Series
Dim chrt As Chart
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each shp In sld.Shapes
If shp.HasChart Then
Debug.Print shp.Chart.ChartType
If shp.Chart.ChartType = 57 Then
shp.Chart.SeriesCollection(1).DataLabels.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End If
End If
Next shp
Next sld
End Sub
Though I didn't successfully loop over the series in chart but this works.
