Problem with applying design in PowerPoint 2007

[Björn]

Hi all,

Code that worked great in Powerpoint 2003 does not work at all in PowerPoint
2007.

oPres.Design = oSourcePres.Designs(2)

This code snippet does *nothing* in PowerPoint 2007. In PowerPoint 2003 this
works well, oPres gets the second design from oSourcePres applied.

I running in Compability mode with presentations/templates created in Office
2003

Any ideas?

Hi,
What is oPres declared as? If it is a presentation object, then the code is
incorrect. Presentation does not have a Design member object. The correct
code would be:
oPres.Slides(1).Design = oSourcePres.Designs(2)

Hi,

Sorry,
A small typo :-(

================================

The correct version should be as follows:

oSld is declared as Slide
oSourcePres is declared as Presentation

oSld.Design = oSourcePres.Designs(2)

=================================
But the problem is still there:
This code snippet does *nothing* in PowerPoint 2007. In PowerPoint 2003
it works perfect.

Thanks in Advance

Björn,
Can you confirm that design 2 exists in the presentation? I cannot reproduce
the issue.

Hi guys,

Shyam,

Yes, design 2 existed in the presentation.

When the I tested on a machine with PowerPoint 2007 Servicepack 1 applied
the bug was gone.

The code behaved well

Maybe this was one of all these little small bugs corrected by the
servicepack? or by one of the later installed updates?

Sorry, to bug you about this. :-(
============================================
Another interesting PowerPoint 2007 bug? have you seen this?

When exporting slides from PowerPoint 2007 the fonts in the exported
pictures are "jagged" - the only export-format which keeps
the font looking nice is .emf..The fonts are all standard windows fonts Is
this a printer driver issue or a PowerPoint 2007 bug?

thx in advance Björn

Yeah, I know that other PowerPoint versions also have export problems but in
PowerPoint 2007 the font look really pixelated when exporting slides as
pictures...

Any idea, if this is a bug or just a buggy printer driver?
