Is it possible to reset the "Total Editing Time" in PowerPoint? 3

[hallux]

I am new to PowerPoint as a designer.
Using PowerPoint 2000, when you go to File, Properties, Statistics Tab, I would like to reset the Total Editing Time of a previously created presentation that I have saved and am now modifying. Can that be done?

On the view Menu, click Slide sorter. Place the mouse at the end of last slide, then click SHIFT + First slide. Now all of the slide is selected. Copy and paste in the new presentation. Be sure to click the view menu, slide sorter in the new presentation before you paste the slide, then save. Check the statistics, your total editing time will be 0 minutes.

With a little help of VBA (in a module added in VB editor):

[tt]Sub ClearEditTime()
Presentations(1).BuiltInDocumentProperties("Total Editing Time&quot.Value = 0
End Sub[/tt]

clears the edition time for first open presentation. Works for other office applications (word - with Documents(1), excel Workbooks(1)). Can also set any other value instead of 0.

Thanks Edric and combo.
Two ways to accomplish the same thing, and the VBA code gives me a whole lot of possibilities I never considered. Like changing other properties. Exactly what I needed.
