Something like this should do it for all the fly in animations as long as
they are not triggered:
Sub MakeAllAppear()
Dim oSld As Slide
Dim oShp As Shape
Dim oEffect As Effect
For Each oSld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oEffect In oSld.TimeLine.MainSequence
If oEffect.EffectType = msoAnimEffectFly _
And oEffect.Exit = msoFalse Then
oEffect.EffectType = mosanimeffectappear
End If
Next oEffect
Next oSld
End Sub
