vba - shape.export in 2007?

[roytang]

Hi,

I'm having problems with shape.export in 2007; it seems to sometimes
add a transparent padding (i.e. there is additional empty space
bordering the image) to the exported images, the padding being of
various sizes. This problem doesn't happen in ppt 2003. I'm writing a
VBA script that will export the images from a set of PowerPoint files
for processing, but the additional transparent padding makes my
processing go wonky.

Is there any way I can avoid the extra empty areas added by
shape.export? Or failing that, is there any way I can know at what x,
y coordinates in the exported shape the *actual* image starts?

Thanks,

Roy

Hi Roy,
Sorry there is no way around the padding of the transparency. Run a few
trial and error test on the variations. That is possibly the best bet in
this case.

Thanks! I guess I'll just see what kind of workaround I can come up
with.
