MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006PowerPoint 2007 bug
Shapes are not working properply, v.g., the curve tool only draws straigth lines. This does not occur in Word 2007 though. Looks like a bug. It doesn't happen in Word 2007, because Word doesn't implement the new Office drawing engine fully. It actually uses for shapes still the same drawing engine as Word 2003. PowerPoint and Excel do though. I just bugged it. Did you notice any other shapes that are not working correctly? Good catch! Thanks, Patrick Schmid -------------- http://pschmid.net > Shapes are not working properply, v.g., the curve tool only draws straigth > lines. This does not occur in Word 2007 though. Yeah, the scribble and freehand tools are not working either. Another bug: draw a vertical line. Then click in one of the ends and press shift to try to extend the line without chaning the rotation. When you do that, the line will be drawn to almost + (or -) inifnity! :) This also happens with horizontal lines. Strangely enough, it does not occur with any other type of lines. > Looks like a bug.

According to MS, the curved tool is a known issue: http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/products/FX101517941033.aspx I can't find it on that page though. I'll try to the repro the infinite line issue.

This does not occur in Word 2007 though. PowerPoint's other bugs friends: did you find other bugs in PowerPoint 2007? PowerPoint 2007 will be a best tool. It has many useful function.especially bellow: 1. font effects 2."change picture" Aboves are revolutionary. Before 2007 cannot but use photoshop to get text with outline,glow etc. functions. "change picture" function help alter picture without losing animation. But I found many bugs,such as 1. When I type character It will immediately exit without save. 2. when save png format picture the picture will lose transparency.The transparency will become white. 3.PowerPoint 2007 's speed is too slow than before,especially when the file size is big and inserting many picture. 4. Screen Can not refresh correctly. 5. lack "background save as..." function. 6. the Text applying effect glow can't be setup and the default glow effect is too poor than photoshop. I don't know how to report bugs to Microsoft,Please someone tell me. zdz_conquer Regarding 1 & 3: disable all add-ins and try again (Office button, PPT options, Add-ins). 1 shouldn't be happening and 3 might be consequence of some add-in. 2: can you give exact steps please? 3 & 4: sounds like beta performance issues to me that should be resolved by RTM. Please see if you still have those problems once the next beta version is made available (no idea when that will happen). 5: all saves should allow you to keep working at the same time 6: can you elaborate? Patrick Schmid -------------- http://pschmid.net > But I found many bugs,such as > 1. When I type character It will immediately exit without save. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > zdz_conquer In addition to Patrick's comments... 2 is a known issue. Should be fixed by RTM, if not by Beta 2 Technical Refresh. 4. Might be related to video driver/hardware acceleration issues. I know my old system had trouble particularly with transparencies and gradients, and PPT 2007 is chock full of those. I'd try changing hardware acceleration. How to set graphics hardware acceleration back http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00129.htm 5. Do you mean "allow fast saves"? Yes, this has been removed, but there really shouldn't be a need for it. Or did you mean something else? 6. Unfortunately, glows and reflections settings cannot be customized.
