Anonymous

Hi There,

in Powerpoint is a powerful function "Convert to Shape" in the "Graphic format" Tab to convert imported images ( for example SVG ) to Single Shapes.

Is this function supported for marcos ?

Many Thanks,

Marius W.

    As Steve said. The only possibility is to use Call CommandBars.ExecuteMso("SVGEdit"). It will fail if the SVG is not selected and you will see the warning message.

    Not that useful!

    Not so far, Marius.  SVG support is fairly new to PowerPoint Windows and is gradually being extended to the other platforms. I'd guess that we won't see VBA support for a while yet, not until any platform-specific support issues for SVG itself are worked out.

    Please understand that this just my best guess from having watched how MS rolls new versions and features out; I don't have any inside knowledge of their plans.
