PPT2000: Macro Recorder Doesn't Record Find or Replace Commands

ID: Q222779

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft PowerPoint 2000

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.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000.
