Powerpoint 2007 textframe.autosize

Powerpoint 2007 textframe.autosize

  Hi,
  
  You do not say what the actual problem or error is. Or what code you are using.
  
  I did notice from my very limited testing that the width of the textbox does not appear to be automatic.

  I had the same problem when I took my application from PowerPoint 2003 to 2007. All of my TextBoxes were .41" high no matter what i set the height property to in the AddTextBox method. Here is the code I finally got to work.
  
  PowerPoint.Shape theText = slide.Shapes.AddTextbox(TextOrientation,
  x, y,Width, Height);
  
  theText.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = " ";
  theText.TextFrame.AutoSize = PowerPoint.PpAutoSize.ppAutoSizeNone;
  theText.TextFrame.VerticalAnchor = TextAnchor;
  theText.Height = Height;
  
  
  After I set the AutoSize property my height was messed up, so I just reset the height and it all worked correctly. Seems to be a bug in the AutoSize property.

  Even I am recieving the same error while it is working fine with 2003 Object model.

  When I do

  Private moPowerPointApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application

  moPowerPointApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange.Characters.Count

  Above line gives an error called "The specified value is out of range." when the selection is made in a table object present in one of the ppt slide.

  And above is working fine when I use 2003 object model.

  Is there some substitute for the above change

  Its urgent. any help will subtract my problem.

  Thanks!!!

  Hi Andy,

  I'm using the following code

  Set PowerpointApplication = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
  Set ThisPresentation = PowerpointApplication.Presentations.Add
  Set ThisSlide = ThisPresentation.Slides.Add(1, 12)
  
  ThisSlide.Shapes.AddShape 1, 0, 0, 720, 50
  ThisSlide.Shapes(1).Name = "SlideHeader"
  ThisSlide.Shapes("SlideHeader").Fill.Forecolor.RGB = RGB(128,128,128)

  Set ThisTextShape = ThisSlide.Shapes.AddTextBox(1, 0, 30, 350, 50)
  ThisTextShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Owner: John Doe"
  ThisTextShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Name="Arial"
  ThisTextShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size=10
  ThisTextShape.TextFrame.Autosize=2
  ThisTextShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Color.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
  ThisTextShape.TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = 1

  if i take out the textframe.autosize it works with powerpoint 2007 but looks terrible. it all works in office 2003, xp, 2000

  how come microsoft do not have a development reference for powerpoint 2007 on msdn

  Thanks again

  I am experiencing a similar issue with our software application which uses OLE/COM to export our document content into PPT file format.
  
  Our export routines are implemented using C++ and when we invoke the TextFrame.AutoSize( ppAutoSizeShapeToFitText ) call with PowerPoint 2007, we receive a "The specified value is out of range" error.
  
  The PPT constants defined as valid arguments for AutoSize are:
  
  typedef enum {
  ppAutoSizeMixed = -2,
  ppAutoSizeNone = 0,
  ppAutoSizeShapeToFitText = 1
  } PpAutoSize;
  
  and have worked fine with all prior versions of Office, but not with Office 2007.
  
  I have used the OLE/COM Object Viewer to look at the interface specification in the MSPPT.OLB file which is part of the Office 12/2007 distribution and the ppAutoSize constants are defined exactly as above, so I am starting to think that this is a Microsoft bug in PowerPoint 2007.
  
  boland0980, were you able to resolve this issue
  
  I did notice that you were setting AutoSize to 2, did you try using any other values, e.g. -2, 0 or 1
  
  Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with TextFrame.AutoSize
