Issues that this hotfix package fixes
This hotfix fixes the following issues that are not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
- In an Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation, you insert a callout shape to add text. However, when you move the sizing handle inside the callout shape, a white slice is displayed in the location of the sizing handle.
- In a PowerPoint 2007 presentation, you insert a SmartArt graphic that contains text box objects, such as Basic Block List or Block Cycle. In this case, when you try to use the VBA command to access the font size for text in the text box object, PowerPoint 2007 may crash.
- Consider the following scenario:
- You install hotfix 954572 for Office Excel 2007.
- You enable the Right to Left mode for an Excel 2007 worksheet.
- You insert multiple shapes in the worksheet, and then you group them.
In this scenario, when you move the group of shapes in the worksheet, the group may be outside the group bounding box.
Note This problem may also occur when you move the group of charts or the group of SmartArt graphics in an Excel 2007 worksheet that has Right to Left mode enabled.
