I'm not sure this is the right forum, but I am running into problems with
PowerPoint 2007 from the public beta of Office 2007 (beta 2).

In VBA every call I make to get a Ruler on a TextFrame fails, and when I
check for the number of lines in a TextRange, the answer is always 1 (even
when more than 1 line is present).

The same code works fine in PowerPoint XP and PowerPoint 2003.

Am I supposed to use different calls in PowerPoint 2007? Are these just
bugs, and if so, have they been fixed in a later (non-public) release?

Thanks,
Don

The goal is for code that works in PowerPoint 2002 & 2003 to also work in
PowerPoint 2007.

Of course it might be that your specific issues have been subsequently
fixed (since Beta 2) but without actual sample code I cannot say whether or
not it has already been fixed or reported but not yet fixed.

Please submit bug reports (2) with sample code demonstrating the 2 issues
that you have described, via the bug reporting form on BetaPlace.

Hello Don,

Please disregard my prior message. I accidentally strayed over from the
beta (supported) to the public (unsupported preview) and misspoke.

Instead, if you include sample code in your reply to this post I'll see if
I can get someone to look at it (no promises, since the preview is not
supported).

Sorry for the mis-communication.

Thanks John.

I will follow up with you personally, since this is not the right forum for
my question.
