2003 > 2007 Formatting Problems

[George]

Hi

I have wrote a little program which adds
a new slide and then formatting a text
element on it (bold, yellow). This workes
fine in ppt 2003. But in ppt 2007 the
background of the text frame is now black,
the font *not* bold and the color of the
font ist black.

Can anybody help me (see the used code
below).

Many thanks for help

Best Regards, George

With ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange.ParagraphFormat
.LineRuleWithin = msoTrue
.SpaceWithin = 1
.LineRuleBefore = msoTrue
.SpaceBefore = 0
.LineRuleAfter = msoTrue
.SpaceAfter = 0
End With

With ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange
.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ppAlignLeft
With .Font
.Name = "Arial Narrow"
.Size = 25
.Bold = msoTrue
.Italic = msoFalse
.Underline = msoFalse
.Shadow = msoFalse
.Emboss = msoFalse
.BaselineOffset = 0
.AutoRotateNumbers = msoFalse
.Color.SchemeColor = ppForeground
.Color.RGB = RGB(Red:=247, Green:=181, Blue:=18)
End With
End With

With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange
.Fill.Transparency = 0#
.TextFrame.MarginLeft = 0#
.TextFrame.MarginRight = 0#
.TextFrame.MarginTop = 0#
.TextFrame.MarginBottom = 0#
End With

Hi George

I sense the Recorder at work!!

Try posting what layout you need the inserted slide to be and which part
needs to be yellow and maybe someone will pop up with proper code!

Dear John

Thanks for your answer.

When I collected the code for a new
request, I have found out, that the textframe
was not selected, when executing the
formating (in ppt 2003 it worked ...).

I was able to fix the problem myself.
Many thanks for your help.
