Seems like this is a feature has been unavailable since at least
1997. Anyone figure out a way to do this in Powerpoint 2003?

Afraid not.

For tricky editing, it's probably best to use Illustrator, Corel Draw or other
full-up drawing programs, if they're available.

Hmmm. I didn't really consider what I was doing to be tricky.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to those other applications. :(

I wonder why this capability gap hasn't been addressed in Powerpoint
over the past decade. (Actually, that's a rhetorical question).

I guess in this context, "tricky" means "beyond PPT's abilities".
