Change all slides that were not set up using slide master

[Randree]

How do I remove the background color or change to white in all of the slides when my teacher must have made the presentation without using the slide master? Do I need to delete each one individually? Or can I create a new master or theme and apply? It appears that she has a large text box that is colored in. Sure the slides are pretty, but I hate wasting ink.

I am attaching a few slides from the powerpoint for reference.

I hope your teacher knows more about oncology than PowerPoint!

You would have to use code to fix the slides

On a COPY of the file
ALT f11 should open the VB Editor
INSERT > Module and paste in this code

Sub fixOnc()
   Dim osld As Slide
   Dim oshp As Shape
   For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
      For Each oshp In osld.Shapes
         If oshp.Fill.Visible Then oshp.Fill.Visible = False
      Next oshp
   Next osld
End Sub

Run by pressing f5

Does that fix it?

You are amazing. Thank you so much

So the code worked for the initial powerpoint, but I tried using the same code for this without luck.

By the way, I have a mac so not sure if there is a difference

Sadly your professor doesn't really know how to use PowerPoint properly and has used a different "bodge" this time. This cannot easily be fixed with code, the real answer is for someone to show them how to use slide masters
