Hi Patrick,

FWIW, generally, although MS did remove most of the NDA around the beta they're generally not too happy with mentioning in the
public newsgroups or on websites etc, the beta newsgroups or activities that go on there. So while mentioning a solution is
usually okay the source of it is what they get a bit concerned about.

Plus you get, especially with 1/2 million copy beta, folks who get upset because they think everyone should be in the same beta site
g.

Are you having fun trying to keep up with all of the newsgroups?


Bob ?:-)

Hi Rob,

I see the same behavior here. Microsoft introduced a completely new
drawing engine in Office 2007. PPT, Excel and Word use it with the
disclaimer that Word doesn't implement it fully. As I see the same
behavior in PPT, it might be that the new drawing engine doesn't support
transparencies. I've asked about this in the private beta newsgroups and
will get back to you with what I find out.
