2007: Macro recording not working for some actions

[Guest]

I just tried to use macro reporting to work on an Excel 2007 bug that I'll
report later, and just found that if you create shapes on a worksheet, the
macro recorder does not record anything.

Of course, that used to work with previous versions.

BTW, if I want to draw 3 circles, I cannot lock the circle feature by double
clicking on it (like in previous versions). Now I have to right click, then
click on lock. What was so bad with double clicking ???

This is a known shortcoming. Certain chart actions and all shape actions are
not captured by the recorder. This is a major problem, because the way
people learn about the code and about syntax is through use of the recorder.
This is at odds with all the talk about making Office more discoverable.
