Break all of the links in a presentation
Problem
Sometimes you need to break all of the links in a presentation. The links dialog box in some versions of PowerPoint allows you to do this fairly easily; in other versions, you must select and break the links one at a time. If you only have a few links, it's no big deal, but it can get very tedious if you have many links to break.
Automatically break the links
This little bit of VBA code will break all of the links in the current presentation.
PLEASE: Run this only on a COPY of your original presentation.
Sub BreakAllLinks()
Dim oSld As Slide
Dim oSh As Shape
For Each oSld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oSh In oSld.Shapes
If oSh.Type = msoLinkedOLEObject Then
oSh.LinkFormat.BreakLink
End If
Next ' Shape
Next ' Slide
End Sub
