Shape Tags are removed when opening a legacy file in PowerPoint 20

[JackCali]

Hi All,

I have an application that automates Powerpoint presentation. I used the
Shape.Tags property to store data for each powerpoint presentation created.
When I upgraded to PowerPoint 2007, opening a legacy file (2003) in
Powerpoint 2007 will lose all the entries in the Shape.Tags collection. In
debug mode of VS .NET 2005, I see "The method or operation is not
implemented" message for the Shape.Tags property. Can someone explain why
the entries in the Shape.Tags are removed?

Thanks,
Jack

Steve,

Thank you for the response. I have already applied SP1 and the problem is
still there.

Thanks,
Jack

I use Rectangle shapes (msoShapeRectangle). I think it is best to send you
the powerpoint presention that I created to see if Shape.Tags are working on
your environment ( e.g. "The method or operation is not implemented" message
is not displayed). If Shape.Tags do work, then I might need to check out our
install software to see why applying SP1 does not solve the problem.

Do you have an email that I can send the file for you to check out?

Thank you very much,
Jack
