Geoff,
Must you use VBA to do that?
Could you just not edit the quikanim file in the office11 folder. This file
contains all the effects from the task pane and can be edited provided you
remove the read-only box.
You can even add your own standard animation scheme. Just change whatever
you want and save the file reinstating the read-only property.
Thanks to Shyam Pillai there is this exellent tutorial on the subject see:

Luc,
I think so as I would like to remove the ellipse effect from just the
title and lots of ppt files without removing other animation effects.

office 11 folder? I am using PowerPoint 2003 - does this apply? If yes
- where do I look?

Luc,
I have read through Shyam's notes now. Do you mean that in order to
remove the ellipse animation for the title text from say 50 of my
presentations I could delete the first of the 2 ellipse slides in the
quickanim.ppt file?
Cheers

Geoff,
Not on existing presentations I'm afraid. It would work for new
presentations. I suggested the quikanim route as it was not clear wether you
wanted to make it disappear from the scheme for future use or not. No need
to delete the two slides just remove the animation using the custom
animation taskpane then resave.

Luc,
I see - in fact I have perhaps 100 presentations with the ellipse
animation and would like to remove this in them all without affecting
any other animations.
Any ideas on using VBA to do this?
Cheers

Geoff,
I'm afraid not, VBA is not my forte.

Because nobody knows the answer, I'd guess.
Search for posts from Shyam Pillai. He's done a lot of work with and posted
good suggestion re animation.

OK - thanks Steve.

Geoff,
I tried to respond to your email to me via email, but my email system is
having some problems (our server team is working on it). Unfortunately,
my response was basically that I don't know, and that is why I didn't
respond.
