PPT2000: Macro Recorder Doesn't Record Find or Replace Commands (222779)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
This article was previously published under Q222779 SYMPTOMS
If you click Find or Replace on the Edit menu while you are recording a
macro, your finished macro does not include any code to find or replace
text. For example, if you start Macro Recorder, click on the title of a
slide, and then use the Replace command to replace the word Cat with the
word Dog, the resulting macro selects only the title of your slide.
CAUSE
The PowerPoint Macro Recorder does not record mouse clicks or keyboard
commands. Instead, it translates your actions into the nearest Visual
Basic for Applications equivalent. While the PowerPoint object model does
include Find and Replace methods, they do not work the same way as the Find and Replace commands on the Edit menu.
RESOLUTIONMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000.
