Remove all text shadows

Problem

Your presentation has shadowed text that you want to remove.

Shadows can be applied to text in two ways:

• By selecting the text and using Format, Font
• By using the normal PPT Shadow settings (via the Shadow button on the drawing toolbar)

Solution

This macro will remove the shadow from any text in your presentation and hide any shadow that's been applied to the shape that contains text using the shadow settings button.

Sub NoTextShadows()

    Dim oSld As Slide
    Dim oShp As Shape

    For Each oSld In ActivePresentation.Slides
        For Each oShp In oSld.Shapes
            If oShp.HasTextFrame Then
                If oShp.TextFrame.HasText Then
                    oShp.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Shadow = msoFalse
                    oShp.Shadow.Visible = msoFalse
                End If
            End If
        Next oShp
    Next oSld

End Sub
