Re: transparent text or group names

Hi John,

The thot plickens.

It turns out that the oddities I mention happen only when an addin with an
event handler (that handles the selection event, among other things) is active.

You can trace through the code and watch the show on screen ... nothing alters
the selection, but as soon as the code completes, PPT deselects all but the
first shape in the selection.

Hard to pin down exactly why it happens but I've been able in this case to mod
the event handler code to avoid it.

Hi Steve

You knew I was going to bite! Anyway by dupeing I created four shapes on a
slide all called "steve" in 2003

They didnt react as you indicate for me I can drag select or ctrl click them
but also I can affect the all with vba

eg
For Each oshp In ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes
If oshp.Name = "steve" Then oshp.Fill.ForeColor _
..RGB = vbBlue
Next

Then I changed some shapes so that eg the circle called "steve" became a
square now I have four totally different shapes all called "steve" and the
code still works. There'll be a use somewhere in the future!!
