Text overflow for texbox

[yanwei]

Thanks again.Do I need to start a new posting about text overflow? I

A new posting might be a good idea; that way you can post with a new
title/subject line. But if you like, just copy/paste from this message to save
some typing.

You could add a tag to the shape and set the value of the tag to the shape's
text. That'd store the original text nicely.

Thanks Steve. I will do more research on tags. I will post further
question if I am stuck. Though, how can tags be viewed?

Thanks again

I think he's talking about: Format, autoshape, click the web tab. Unless you
mean viewed in VB, in which case you have to wait for Steve's response.

Hi Glenna

No, I mean for the user to view it in PowerPoint. But I found out that
They can't edit it, which is not what I wanted. So I have gone to plan
B, which is limit the lengh of what can be shown on the slide and put
the complete data into the notes page in a table formate. I haven't put
that into action yet. So if anyone has a better idea, please let me
know.

Thanks

Thanks Steve. I will do more research on tags. I will post further

Here's a quick example:

Sub AddATag
' This adds a tag to Slide 1
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
.Tags.Add "MyTag", "My tag value"
End With
End Sub

Sub ShowMyTag
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
Msgbox .Tags("MyTag")
End With
End Sub

Presentations, Slides and Shapes can all have multiple tags, by the way.

Hi Steve

Thanks. But that's not what I wanted. As the user does not have an
option to edit it. I think I will use the NotesPage property.

Have Fun!!!

I didn't realize the user needed to be able to edit it.
Notes page text or maybe Web Text would indeed work better in that case.
