Hi

I am working with macros containing object references such as
Shapes("Object 29") for example

with Office XP, I usually got the obeject reference by recording a
macro and looking it up in the recorded VBA code

in Office 2007, the macro recorder is no longer available in
Powerpoint

can anyone help me out? how can I find out the object reference
("Object 29" for example) of an embedded chart?

Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,
Franco

In 2007 you can see (and change!) the objects name by going to Format Tab
(select something first) and "selection pane"

I would suggest changing the name to something useful eg "graph1" and then
using .Shapes("graph1")
