How to delete notes from power point presentation (PP2000)

Hi Bill,

I've just tried your macro to delete notes from ppt's.
I'm getting an error and my limited knowledge of VBA is not enough to debug.

The error reads:
Run-time error '-2147188160 (80048240)':
PlaceholderFormat (unknown member) : Invalid request. Shape is not a
placeholder.

When I click on "Debug", the following line is highlighted:
" If oSh.PlaceholderFormat.Type = ppPlaceholderBody Then"

Can you help?
Thanks in advance!
Grace.
