ActiveX control in PowerPoint 2007, state not saved to 97-2003 fil

Hi all,

I have a problem with a custom VB6 ActiveX control I've developed. It's
intended to be used in different versions of office programs. It has
properties to change sizes and colors of graphical objects. The current state
is stored in instance variables. The current state of all variables is saved
in a property bag through UserControl_ReadProperties and
UserControl_WriteProperties.

The control works ok in most office programs but there is a problem with
PowerPoint 2007. If I save a presentation in 97-2003 format the state of the
control isn't saved. It works fine with .pptx though.

Another thing that has bothered me is that the control gets invisible in
design mode in Office 2003 programs. Any ideas why?

My last question is if there's a way of geting out of designmode in
PowerPoint except going to slide show mode?

Hope someone has the answeres for me.

Anders
