Deleting off-slide content / objects VBA

[RayKay]

Hi everyone

I'm stuck on how to write VBA so with a click of the button it will delete all objects that are not on the slide - deletes all off-slide content.

I know there's the option in FILE > Check for Issues and then click Off-slide content, but it's long winded to remove all the other radio buttons. Also, that tool isn't available when customizing the ribbon.

Can anyone send me code please? I'm sure others would find this useful too.

Thank you!

This should do thet (check on a copy though)

Sub Zaps_OffSlide()
    Dim osld As Slide
    Dim oshp As Shape
    Dim L As Long
    For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
        For L = osld.Shapes.Count To 1 Step -1
            Set oshp = osld.Shapes(L)
            If isOffSlide(oshp) Then oshp.Delete
        Next L
    Next
End Sub




Function isOffSlide(oshp As Shape) As Boolean
Dim SW As Long
Dim SH As Long
SH = ActivePresentation.PageSetup.SlideHeight
SW = ActivePresentation.PageSetup.SlideWidth
With oshp
If .Left + .Width < 0 _
Or .Top + .Height < 0 _
Or .Top > SH _
Or .Left > SW Then isOffSlide = True
End With
End Function
